L’oro nero rialza la testa?

An idle oil pumping unit is silhouetted against the setting sun, Wednesday, May 20, 2020, in a field south of Oakley, Kan. Surplus global oil production coupled with reduced demand as people stay home because of coronavirus restrictions have led to the lowest oil prices in decades which have only recently started to rebound somewhat.

Storage tanks are shown at the Marathon Petroleum Corp. refinery in Detroit, Tuesday, April 21, 2020. The world is awash in oil, there's little demand for it and we're running out of places to put it. That in a nutshell explains this week's strange and unprecedented action in the market for crude oil futures contracts, where traders essentially offered to pay someone else to deal with the oil they were due to have delivered next month.(AP Photo/Paul Sancya)

La produzione mondiale di petrolio è troppo elevata, mentre la richiesta è scarsa a causa delle restrizioni del Coronavirus che hanno costretto le persone in casa per settimane. Conseguenza: i prezzi sono calati al livello più basso da decenni, finendo addirittura in negativo. Solo recentemente hanno iniziato a rimbalzare: 36 dollari al barile il Brent. Ma non tutti si fidano. Unica certezza è che in Italia il prezzo della benzina cala sempre meno di quello del petrolio: da inizio gennaio il petrolio è diminuito del 70%, mentre il prezzo alla pompa è sceso solo del 16%.
