New York. The price of intermediate oil of Texas (WTI) closed yesterday with a decrease of 0.6% and was placed at 82.12 dollars, with the recovery of demand in the spotlight.
According to data at the end of operations on the New York Mercantile Exchange (Nymex), WTI futures contracts for delivery in February cut 0.52 dollars compared to the close of the previous session.

US benchmark oil fell after rising the day before to a high not seen in two months, dragged down by fears of weaker-than-estimated demand.
According to analysts, the market has reacted to a greater than expected increase in gasoline reserves in the United States, which reflected the effect of the omicron variant of Covid-19. In the United States, infection rates have forced businesses and schools to close.
