The United Arab Emirates’s economy minister joined forecasters looking for $60 crude this year with demand and production moving more in line.
"It’s possible for oil prices to reach $60 or more during this summer" as demand increases in the U.S., U.A.E. Economy Minister Sultan Bin Saeed Al Mansoori said at a conference in Abu Dhabi on Monday. Crude will end the year higher than $60/bbl, Mario Maratheftis, global chief economist at Standard Chartered Plc, said on Bloomberg TV. SEB Bank forecast last week that Brent would touch $60 at times in 2016.
Oil futures jumped 31% this year, climbing above $50/bbl last week, as U.S. crude stockpiles declined, trimming a glut. Robust demand in India and other emerging nations led the International Energy Agency in May to reduce its estimate of the global oil surplus for the first half. Brent last traded above $60 in July.
“We’ve always been incredibly bullish on oil,” Maratheftis said. “We expected supply to collapse. Demand is still very strong. I would expect oil prices to keep rising.”
Brent for July settlement fell 0.3% to $49.15/bbl by 2:25 p.m. in Dubai, after trading at $50.51 last Thursday.

Unnamed militants attacked a boat transporting Eni workers in the Niger Delta region June 29, killing two, an Eni spokesperson told Rigzone Monday.
The boat was on its way to a well location on a “routine operation” in the Nembe area when the incident occurred, said the spokesperson. Three members of the team managed to escape, reaching a nearby flow station, although two others were reported missing.
Two days after the attack the bodies of the missing workers were found.
“Investigations with Security Agencies were immediately undertaken and are still ongoing,” said the company spokesperson.
Oil and gas instalations and facilities within the Niger Delta have been the focus of several attacks over the last few months from the Niger Delta Avengers group.
The NDA claimed responsibility for a number of attacks in the region over the weekend on its Twitter page, which has since been suspended by the social media site.
