World oil prices today
According to information from Oilprice at 5:00 a.m. on August 30, 2024, the price of WTI crude oil reached 76.02 USD/barrel, up 1.87% compared to the previous one, which is an increase of 1.39 USD/barrel. The price of Brent oil also increased to 79.96 USD/barrel, up 1.67%, equivalent to 1.31 USD/barrel.

The main reason for the price increase was the disruption of supply from Libya and Iraq's plan to cut oil production, causing the market to worry that global supply could be narrowed.
Libya had to shut down more than half of its oil production on Thursday due to political conflict, and oil exports were also suspended at some ports. Libya is currently estimated to be losing about 700,000 barrels of oil per day.
Iraq is expected to cut oil production in September to compensate for overproducing under its agreed quota with OPEC and its partners. Production is expected to fall from 4.25 million barrels per day to between 3.85 million and 3.9 million barrels per day.
Experts say the closure of Libya's export terminals could make the Atlantic oil market even tighter.
Despite the volatility, oil traders need to get used to the fact that Libya remains an uncertain factor for the global oil market.
