The lowest price of Azeri LT CIF was recorded on April 21, 2020 ($15.81), and the all-time high in July 2008 ($149.66).

Notably, oil prices were up on Wednesday as an estimated US crude oil inventory decline alleviates market concerns over a supply glut rise.

American benchmark West Texas Intermediate was at $41.12 a barrel at the same time for a 0.19% increase after ending the previous session at $41.04 per barrel.
