Brent oil trading firm at $76, Asian markets move higher
BonTradeBrent oil prices open Thursday’s trading session at the $76 mark as Asian stock markets traded higher, but the gains are modest, reflecting an uncertainty about the strength of world economic growth.
In London, Brent crude oil futures for September 2010 delivery was trading at $76.96 a barrel, 08.00 GMT on the ICE Futures Exchange.
Investors continue to guess whether they should be concerned about a US double dip recession or whether this is a buying opportunity for oil prices and other commodities including gold.
