CRUDE OIL (1 BBL)
Oil prices have shot up this year, topping $80 a barrel in May for the first time since 2014. The higher prices were boosted by OPEC-led output cuts and falling Venezuelan and Libyan output, as well as by an imminent drop in Iranian exports as U.S. sanctions return in November this year. OPEC member Iran has exported around 2.5 million barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil so far this year. Most analysts expect this figure to fall by at least 1 million bpd once sanctions kick in. Steadily rising per capita consumption has cemented its position as one of the largest oil importers in the world. This keeps the economy exposed to movements in global oil prices.
