International oil prices closed higher on the 23rd and returned to 50 US dollars

International oil prices rose on the 23rd.

According to Xinhua News Agency reported on June 24, the market concerns the referendum on the Brexit to be held on the 23rd, and the final voting results will be announced on the morning of the 24th local time.

Analysts pointed out that as the market generally expects that the United Kingdom will remain in the EU, investor risk aversion has declined, and the purchase of non-safe-haven assets such as oil has increased, and oil prices have been supported.

In addition, the dollar weakened on the 23rd. The U.S. dollar index, which measures the U.S. dollar against the six major currencies, fell 0.17%, and fell to 93.552 at the end of the currency market. The weakening of the U.S. dollar has increased the attractiveness of investment in dollar-denominated oil and supported oil prices on that day.

As of the close of the day, the price of light crude oil** delivered by the New York Mercantile Exchange in August rose by $0.98, or 1.99%, to $50.11 per barrel. August Brent crude oil prices in London rose 1.03 US dollars to close at 50.91 US dollars a barrel, or 2.06%.
