Oil prices have been extremely volatile since the start of the year, and in particular this week, as a string of bullish indicators like a slump in the dollar and potential talks on output cuts clashed with bearish reports of record U.S. crude inventories, higher output and a slowing global economy.

Market increased on rumours, but over production remains. The market remains weak in spite of some rebounds. At the moment market stable.
