At around 6:41 pm (Brasília time), this Friday (29th), the WTI spot contract registered a 0.06% drop and was traded at US$ 52.33 / barrel on the New York Stock Exchange. In a day marked by oscillations between gains and losses, oil remains on the negative side influenced by fears aimed at the growth of the global spread of the coronavirus, its mutations and vaccination still considered slow.

Attention also to global demand in the long run, which may be further hampered by the recent resumption of social restraint measures, despite the drop of nearly 10 million barrels in US stocks last week.
