The main factors that supported positive trading sentiments were signs of improved demand for fuel as countries began to reduce public isolation measures imposed to prevent the spread of the emerging coronavirus, in addition to reducing crude supplies from two major producers and continuing to reduce public isolation measures related to the COVID-19 despite a record increase in infection cases around the world.
