Energy prices are moving fast. Oil is rising. Gas is under pressure. Coal and uranium are holding firm. Here is a clear look at the latest numbers and what they mean.
Crude oil price and Brent trend
Crude Oil is trading at 66.266 USD per barrel. It is up 0.97% today. It has gained 1.81% this week. In 1 month it is up 9.23%. Year to date it has jumped 15.33%. But on a yearly basis it is still down 3.49%.
