The global energy market stayed volatile on Tuesday as crude oil prices held near multi month highs while fuel and gas markets continued to show sharp yearly gains. Traders kept a close watch on supply concerns, rising demand expectations, and tightening inventories across major economies.<\/p>\n

Crude Oil traded at $100.89 per barrel. The commodity slipped 0.12% during the day but still posted a massive 75.75% gain on a year to date basis. On a yearly basis, crude oil is now up 65.03%. Brent crude also remained elevated at $104.84 per barrel despite falling 0.74% during the session. Brent prices are now up 72.39% this year and 62.56% compared to the same period last year.<\/p>\n

Crude Oil and Brent prices remain near highs<\/h2>\n

Energy traders continued tracking the strong rally in oil markets even as daily movements remained mixed. Weekly gains stayed firm with crude oil rising 6.44% and Brent adding 4.84% over the last 7 days. Monthly gains also remained strong at above 10% for both benchmarks.<\/p>\n

Urals Oil saw one of the sharpest yearly gains in the market. The Russian oil benchmark traded at $97.51 per barrel. Prices dropped 4.47% during the day and are down nearly 17% for the month. Despite the short term weakness, Urals Oil is still up 93.32% this year and nearly 65% year over year.<\/p>\n

Naphtha prices also stayed elevated at $879.33 per tonne even after a 2.17% daily drop. The commodity has jumped 80.05% year to date while Heating Oil prices surged 83.79% during the same period.<\/p>\n

Gasoline climbs 108.33% while natural gas struggles<\/h2>\n

Gasoline prices remained one of the biggest gainers in the energy sector. The fuel traded at $3.56 per gallon after slipping 1.51% during the day. Even with the decline, gasoline prices have skyrocketed 108.33% this year and are up 66.78% compared to last year.<\/p>\n

European gas markets stayed stronger. TTF Gas traded at EUR 47.63 per MWh after rising 1.52% during the session. The benchmark is now up 69.08% year to date. UK Gas prices also climbed 57.96% this year as tighter supplies and weather related demand kept markets under pressure.<\/p>\n
