The price of United States crude for May delivery was down $3.35, or 6.7 per cent, at $46.98 a barrel by 1350 Greenwich Mean Time yesterday, while the London Brent crude for June delivery fell $2.75 to $50.60.
Oil has fallen nearly $100 from its record high of over $147 last July, but has flattened out to trade around $50 for most of this month, in part due to OPEC supply cuts.According to a Reuters report, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said it did not expect OPEC to curb output again when it meets in May and did not see a recovery in oil demand until 2010.
Asked at an energy conference in Dubai when a recovery in oil demand was expected, IEA Deputy Executive Director, Richard Jones, said, “early next year.”
But Algerian Minister for Energy and Mines, Chakib Kheli, was quoted by a newspaper on Sunday, as saying that OPEC will be taking a big risk, if it does not make further adjustment to oil supply.“In my opinion we are taking a big risk if we do not re-adjust supply.
It would be better, given the circumstances, not to take such risks,” Algeria's Liberte newspaper quoted Khelil as saying.
