Oil on track to close its second consecutive week of losses
Oil is about to close its second consecutive week of losses for the first time since April. Will it sink back to May levels?

Oil is heading to close its second consecutive week with losses, for the first time since April, when its price plummeted as a result of the confinements decreed by governments to curb the coronavirus pandemic.
WTI futures contracts that expire in October accumulated a weekly decline of close to 6% at mid-morning on Friday to around $37. Last week, it closed down 7.45%. Brent futures contracts, the benchmark in Europe, which expire in November, are also about to close with a weekly loss of 6%, which joins the 5.31% of last week, on the verge of losing $40.
Doubts about the recovery in demand continue, especially after the US Energy Information Agency (EIA) reported an increase in stocks yesterday for the first time in the last six weeks, with 2 million barrels more, after a decrease was expected. Now, all eyes are on the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), who are scheduled to meet telematically next week.

In the last four years, oil has achieved a certain price recovery, but lately has not been able to reach nor come close to the record prices prior to 2014, when it was between $90 and $100.
