Brent crude hits $45 on Covid-19 vaccine hopes and US oil stocks

The Brent crude oil benchmark rose to a more than two-month high above $45 a barrel on Wednesday on hopes of an effective Covid-19 vaccine and an industry report showing US crude inventories fell more than expected.

 

Brent was up $1.07, or 2.5 per cent, at $44.68 by 1450 GMT after hitting a session high of $45.30 - the first time it has cleared the $45 threshold since early September.

 

US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude added $1.09, or 2.6 per cent, to $42.45.

 

Both benchmarks rose by nearly 3 per cent on Tuesday.

Ireland sees EU-UK trade talks going past mid-November deadline

An EU-UK trade pact is unlikely to come together this week and negotiations might go into the next, an Irish minister said on Wednesday, confirming a Reuters report that the sides were now set to miss their mid-November deadline for a new Brexit deal.

 

Britain left the bloc in January. A status quo transition period expires at the end of the year, and talks on trade rules that would apply from the start of 2021 have yet to yield a breakthrough.

 

"I think it's unlikely this week," said Irish Foreign Minister Simon Coveney. "I think it is likely to move into next week. At that point, the timelines start to get very tight - there are only 50 days left this year."
