๐ฅ๐ผ๐ต๐๐๐ผ๐ณ๐ณ๐ฒ - European Brent oil prices rise above $80 for the first time in 3 years. Gas shortages in the UK and parts of Europe are the catalyst of this, according to analysts, as diesel and gasoline are substitutes for gas in many cases. Therefore, if gas shortages continue, prices can be expected to continue to rise as winter is still ahead.
In addition, there is a shortage of supply due to the hurricane season in the United States. Since Hurricane Ida at the end of August, the region has produced a total of 74.4 million barrels (1 barrel = ~159 liters) less than planned.
