Oil holds near $42, heads for weekly loss as virus cases surge | Reuters

Oil steadied near $42 a barrel on Friday, heading for its first weekly drop in three, as surging coronavirus cases in the United States and Europe raise concerns about demand and Libyan output rises.

Several U.S. states reported record daily increases in infections on Thursday, while France extended curfews for about two-thirds of its population as the second wave of the pandemic sweeps across Europe.

Brent crude rose 6 cents, or 0.1%, to $42.52 a barrel by 0810 GMT having risen 1.7% on Thursday. U.S. crude fell 7 cents, or 0.2%, to $40.57. Both contracts are heading for a loss on the week.

“There is little in the way of support from the demand side in view of the extremely high number of new COVID-19 cases,” said Eugen Weinberg, analyst at Commerzbank. “There is also pressure on prices from the supply side.”

  1. Most binary options companies out there are fraudulent. They are all scams. I have been a victim of their activities. I invested about $480,000 and when i wanted to withdraw after some months, I was unable to reach their contact numbers or emails with which we stayed in touch. I assumed they were having some maintenance routing check, as that had happened in the past. After some weeks, I was contacted again by them and was asked to invest which i refused and told them i wanted to withdraw my money. After this, i didn’t hear from them again. At this point, I started to feel like i had been duped. I was lost and shattered as i had lost most of my savings. I was depressed for about 3 months. I was too ashamed to tell anyone about it, not even my children. I finally summoned the courage to tell my friend who came to visit me in the UK from New Zealand. He told me about a man who specializes on helping get money back called (Troy Hermes) that he's one of the top heads in one of the CIA departments.
    I contacted through the email address I was given after much research about him. and surprisingly I was guided to recovering 93% of my money back. It was a great feeling to get my money back, as i had given up all hope. You can also contact him through the mail address.

    Note: I had to share this information because I had the feeling of helping scam victims as I was.
    If you see this and you are not actually a victim kindly copy and share for others.
    Someone other there needs to be saved.
    Thanks and be safe.
