Crude oil prices continued on their downward trend, dropping to 63.5 $/b on Monday for ICE Brent prompt month contract. The continued drop from earlier this week and Monday was mainly attributed to worsening sentiment around European fuel demand, as EU vaccination stalled for a week and lockdowns resumed in Western Europe. The continued strengthening of the dollar was another hindrance to crude prices performance, as the dollar index hiked to 92. Finally, crude processing data from India in February felt to its lowest since 4 months, at 4.87 mb/d, as squeezed domestic refining margins and fierce competition on the Asian export market pressured the Indian refining system.
