A slip in oil prices on Friday as the market evaluated the consequences of the rate raise from the central banks’ side, yet it is about to achieve weekly earnings triggered by supply setbacks and as hopes glimmered that the demand from the top crude importer worldwide will be boosted soon.

Fed implied its intention for additional rate hikes during the upcoming year, even if the economy geared towards a shrink. BOE and ECB hiked rates yesterday to combat inflation.

Brent crude fell by 2.6& at $79.13 per barrel while WTI dipped by 2.7% at 74.04.

The two main gauges dropped earlier by 2% amid solid greenback and the rate hike of ECB.

The oil seems to be on its way for weekly surge affected by short supply, post the closure of the keystone pipeline by Canada’s TC Energy and with the projections of boosted demand in China next year.

The International Energy Agency’s predictions stated that the demand of the biggest crude importer will rebound in 2023 post a shrink of daily barrels during this year at 400,000, expecting a tick up in the demand by 1.7 million bpd with a total of 101.6 million bpd.
