Crude oil slides in CFD trading
June 22nd, 2010Crude oil fell for the first time in three days today (June 22nd), as optimism the global economic recovery would be strengthened by China’s increased flexibility of the yuan depleted.
Bloomberg reports that crude for delivery in July dipped by 88 cents in CFD trading , or 1.1 per cent, to $76.94 (£52.20) a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange at 10:16 BST.
There is some concern that growth in Europe and China will be slow, leading Goldman Sachs Group to lower its price forecasts for crude oil due to the ‘fragile’ market.
"Commodity markets are generally rebounding strongly off their lows but sentiment remains fragile on European and Chinese concerns," said analysts led by New York-based Allison Nathan.
Yesterday, US crude oil for July delivery rose to $78.45 following a $1.27 increase on trading platforms, the highest level since May 6th.
The American Petroleum Institute is scheduled to release its supply report today.
