Oil price falls 8 cents and stays at the gates of the psychological barrier of $ 50

The timely interruption in oil production caused by large fires in Canada and the attacks on oil facilities in Nigeria has underpinned a gradual increase in prices in recent weeks and has allowed to overcome the psychological barrier of $ 50 today.

Although this has not been enough to hold the figure, at the end of the trading day a barrel of Texas oil, a reference for Ecuador, fell eight cents to close at $ 49.48, breaking the upward trend of the last two days.
