It must be said that the prices of domestic fuel oil in France depend on demand, but above all on the fluctuation of the oil markets. The increase in prices observed for several weeks can also be explained by the increase in oil prices. This Friday, a barrel of Brent from the North Sea sold at $85.78, a price up sharply compared to the start of the week. Regarding the barrel of West Texas Intermediate (WTI), it is at 82.36 dollars per barrel this Friday morning. After having fallen sharply at the start of the current month, oil has returned to levels equivalent to those observed at the end of April.
