A report on Friday, May 7th, 2021, shows that Brent tested $70 per barrel on Wednesday but fell back on Thursday.
Oil “had a great run, but it got a little bit ahead of itself,” Phil Streible, chief market strategist at Blue Line Futures LLC in Chicago, told Bloomberg.
“We’ve hit resistance and prices pulled back,” but it’s hard to see a summer demand boost “being derailed,” he said. Oil is still set to close out the week with another gain.
