WTI crude oil crossed $76 per barrel


Singapore: Crude oil prices have increased by more than 3 percent on the first day of trading in the global market after the war in the Middle East intensified.
Brent crude oil is currently trading at around $80 in the global market, while global gas prices are being sold at $3.90 per MMBTU.
In addition, WTI crude oil has crossed the level of $76 per barrel.
It is pertinent to note that the increase in oil prices in the international market due to the Iran-Israel war will also affect the Pakistani economy.
According to the analytical report, Pakistan’s current account deficit and inflation will increase. Oil at $75 per barrel could increase Pakistan’s current account deficit by $2.3 billion, while oil at $80 per barrel will have a negative impact of $2 billion on the current account deficit.
According to the report, oil at $85 per barrel will have a negative impact of $3.1 billion on the current account deficit, while oil at $90 per barrel could increase the current account deficit by $3.49 billion.
