A new jump in oil prices.
Good news has been rare lately, so the sharp rise in oil prices came as a pleasant surprise to many Russians.
I would like to hope that the trend will continue and the price will reach $100 in the foreseeable future.
In the meantime, on Tuesday, December 22, 2016, the price of oil was just a couple of cents short of breaking the psychological mark of $50 per barrel.
The following days there was a minor correction, after which we can expect a resumption of the upward trend.
Perhaps a positive role will be played by the decision to stabilize the energy market, which will be made by the countries that are the largest oil and gas producers.
