Infosel, julio. 23.- Los precios del petróleo a nivel internacional tomaron un respiro y cortaron con una racha de tres días seguidos al alza, aunque con bajas ligeras por las preocupaciones sobre la demanda futura del hidrocarburo por los nuevos brotes de covid-19.

El precio del barril de petróleo estadounidense, o West Texas Intermediate (WTI), caía 0.46% a 71.58 dólares por barril, mientras que el crudo del Mar del Norte de Europa, o Brent, perdía 0.45% a 73.46 dólares el barril.

Los inversionistas temen que los brotes crecientes de casos de covid-19 por el avance de la cepa Delta del virus SARS-CoV-2 pudieran resultar en nuevas medidas de restricción social que retrasen la recuperación de la economía global, lo que a su vez reduciría la demanda.

Además, esto se podría conjugar con el creciente bombeo del hidrocarburo de las naciones que integran el bloque de la Organización de Países Exportadores de Petróleo y sus aliados (OPEP+).
