At 3:40 pm (Brasília time), this Tuesday (16th), WTI oil registered gains of 0.76%, traded at US$ 59.92 / barrel on the New York Stock Exchange. Yesterday (15), it renewed its 13-month highs at $ 60.95 / barrel. The session continues the gains from yesterday, still reflecting the stoppage of the largest oil refinery in North America, located in Texas, due to the historic cold wave that hit the United States and the Gulf of Mexico. In addition, the market is looking to attack three rockets on the American air base located in Iraq. There is also hope for an improvement in global demand amid reduced supply and advances in coronavirus vaccination.
