Oil Production In Ecuador Might Stop Completely In 48 Hours, According To The Energy Minister.

Xavier Vera - Grunauer , Ecuador's energy minister, issued a warning on Sunday, stating that if protests and obstacles continue, oil production might reach a "critical" point and completely cease within 48 hours.




"The volume of oil production is essential."

The country's oil production will be terminated in less than 48 hours if this situation persists because vandalism, the seizing of oil wells, and road closures have made it impossible to transfer the diesel and equipment required to keep operations running.

Production, which was at about 520,000 barrels per day prior to the protests, has decreased by more than 50% as of today, according to the figures.

According to AFP News, the president of Ecuador reportedly declared that fuel prices would be reduced.

The Market Reaction

Following the aforementioned news, WTI is back in the green after erasing early losses brought on by the G7 talks on Russian oil shipments and the Iran nuclear deal. The price of US crude is at $106.32, up 0.19 percent on the day.

The ECB Will Increase Interest Rates Until Inflation Reaches Its 2 Percent Objective Again.

Christine Lagarde, president of the European Central Bank, made these comments in an interview with the Funke Mediengruppe, which was published on Friday. Until inflation returns to its 2 percent target, the ECB will boost interest rates. The rate increase is merely the most recent stage in our process of ending the special measures. As long as it takes to reduce inflation to our objective over the medium term, we will maintain raising rates. Depending on the information received, the governing council will evaluate the situation and choose the appropriate pace for our next measures.
