Expectations that demand would increase as a number of the ECU nations. And therefore the US cities moved to ease Covid-19 lockdowns, also supported oil prices.

Shaw further added: “The other thing coming through is more detail. And a louder groundswell towards plans for removing COVID restrictions, particularly in Europe — in countries like Spain, France, Austria and Switzerland. That’s getting to see demand devour .”
