Oil prices skidded around 2% as fuel demand concerns re-emerged alongside fresh coronavirus pandemic lockdowns, trimming overnight gains spurred by the grounding of a giant container ship blocking crude shipments through the Suez Canal.

Oil prices slide as coronavirus lockdown concerns outweigh Suez Canal disruptions

U.S. oil futures climbed by almost 6% Wednesday, as a ship that's stuck in Egypt's Suez Canal threatened the flow of oil through the critical waterway. Concerns that the Suez Canal blockage would restrict supply, however, are likely to only provide a "temporary boost for prices," said Fawad Razaqzada, market analyst at ThinkMarkets.

The Energy Information Administration reported Wednesday that U.S. crude inventories rose by 1.9 million barrels for the week ended March 19. Supplies had climbed in each of the previous four weeks.

Oil rose by as much as 3% on Wednesday after a huge container ship ran aground and blocked the Suez Canal, a key shipping route for crude and refined products, which raised some concern about fuel supply.  Overall, the price of oil is set to fall for the third consecutive week this week. Another round of lockdowns in Europe could threaten the recovery in demand growth and have undermined some of the recent strength in the oil market.

Oil prices edged higher on Wednesday as investors looked for bargains following the previous day's plunge, but gains were capped as pandemic lockdowns in Europe and a build in U.S. crude stocks curbed risk appetite and raised oversupply fears.

The American Petroleum Institute reported late Tuesday that U.S. crude supplies rose by 2.9 million barrels for the week ended March 19, according to sources. The data also reportedly showed gasoline stockpiles down by 3.7 million barrels, while distillate inventories rose by 246,000 barrels.

U.S. oil futures fell more than 6% on Tuesday to settle in correction territory, with front-month prices down nearly 13% from the recent high of $66.09 on March 5, according to Dow Jones Market Data. Renewed lockdowns due to rising COVID-19 cases in Europe and snags in the vaccine rollout continued to feed concerns about energy demand.

Oil prices fell on Friday, extending losses for a sixth day as a new wave of COVID-19 infections wash across Europe, spurring new lockdowns and dampening hopes for a recovery in demand for fuels anytime soon.

Oil slump deepens as Europe faces pandemic lockdowns

Oil prices were sharply knocked down Thursday, hurt in part by a dimmer outlook from Europe as the region battles rising COVID-19 cases counts and a sluggish rollout of vaccinations to curb the spread of the disease. Brent oil, the international benchmark, extended its run of losses into a fifth session and West Texas Intermediate crude was in its sixth consecutive session in the red.  "Europe is struggling with COVID. Their pickup in crude demand is likely to lag the Americas and it's probably going to really threaten a lot of hopes that we were going to see a big pickup this summer," Ed Moya, senior market analyst at Oanda, told Insider on Thursday. Brent oil fell 8% to $62.52  barrel and WTI fell by 8.3% to $59.25 per barrel.  Several European countries were recording a rise in coronavirus infections, prompting France on Thursday to declare new lockdown measures in Paris while Italy this week imposed movement restrictions.

Stocks ended lower Friday, with rising bond yields putting heavy pressure on the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average pulled back from record territory and the S&P 500 extended early losses as a sharp drop in oil prices weighed on the energy sectors. The Dow fell around 153 points, or 0.5%, to close near 32,862, according to preliminary figures, after trading at an all-time high earlier in the session following its first-ever close above the 33,000 level on Wednesday.
