Commodities round-up: Crude oil prices at 7-year high; brent hits $93.27/bbl
Feb 6, 2022 11:29 PM

The commodities prices are rushing up higher yet again. Crude oil prices are at a fresh seven-year high, the prices have gained up by 20 percent in this year alone and the brent prices hit highs above USD 93 per barrel and the US crude prices are trading above USD 92 per barrel as well.

There are supply disruptions due to frigid US weather and the political turmoil among major world producers has been supportive as well.

The US jobs data in the January added 467,000 jobs versus the market forecast of 150,000 and that seems to have changed the sentiment for metal prices.
