Naeem Aslam, chief investment officer at Zaye Capital Markets, said black gold was also out of luck, as yesterday’s crude stockpiles data confirmed traders feared weaker demand, leading to higher oil supplies.

“The focus is still on China and its economic growth, but in terms of economic data, China is not showing signs of strong growth. But this does not mean that oil prices will experience any sharp sell-off.

“However, the days of crude oil prices returning to the $80 price range are likely over. We believe that the new range for gold prices is now more likely to be below the $70 price mark. Against the backdrop of strong US GDP data and possible improvement in Chinese economic data Under the current circumstances, we may see the price rise to the $75 mark, but it is unlikely to go above this price mark in the current situation.”

Despite deregulation, retail petrol prices in the UAE remain below the global average.
