Crude oil futures fell today as concerns about the termination of oil supplies from Libya began to slowly fade.

As we learned from the statements of Prime Minister Abdullah al-Tinney, the Libyan government has agreed with the rebels on the resumption of oil terminals. This gives the country the opportunity to be exported up to 500,000 barrels of oil daily.

"Even if Libya resumes production, exports amount to only 40-50 per cent of pre-crisis value, and it is a little. Investors are still watching Iraq, "- analysts said Astmax Investment. In their view, the prices will go up in July because world production capacity is not sufficient to compensate for supply disruptions from Iraq, if any.

Meanwhile, we add that the Iraqi parliament failed to form a new government at the first meeting, and Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki expressed the hope that this will happen at the second attempt. Iraq can not afford to stay for a long time without a government since the separatists take control of new areas in the north and west of the country. But while the fighting did not affect the export of oil.

If we consider the situation from the point of view of demand, the latest data on the U.S. - one of the world's largest oil consumer - have suggested that the economy is recovering. We also recall that yesterday presented the Energy Information Administration report showed that U.S. crude inventories fell more than expected last week as refineries increased capacity before the Independence Day holiday.

Market participants also drew attention to the employment report, which turned out much better than the experts' forecasts. Non-agricultural employment increased from a seasonally adjusted 288,000 last month. It was the strongest increase since January 2012. The unemployment rate fell to 6.1% in June, the lowest level since September 2008. Economists forecast that employment will increase by 211,000 and the unemployment rate to remain unchanged at 6.3%.

Today, as it became known that the U.S. company Enterprise Product Partners sold abroad the first batch of ultra-light oil (condensate) in 40 years. According to the agency, the buyer - Japanese trader Mitsui, volume - 400,000 barrels, the actual delivery deadline - no later than the beginning of August. Recall that in June, the U.S. Commerce Department has authorized two companies to export oil ultralight actually removing acting 40 year-old ban on the supply of crude oil abroad.

Cost of the August futures on U.S. light crude oil WTI (Light Sweet Crude Oil) fell to $ 103.75 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX).

August futures price for North Sea Brent crude oil mixture fell 13 cents to $ 110.67 a barrel on the London exchange ICE Futures Europe.

Gold prices fell markedly today, which was associated with the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the backdrop of the employment report.

As it became known, U.S. employers added a significant number of jobs in June, a sign of improvement in the labor market. Non-agricultural employment increased from a seasonally adjusted 288,000 last month, the Labor Department said Thursday. Gain May was revised to 224,000 from 217,000, while the improvement in April was increased to 304,000 from 282,000. This was the strongest increase since January 2012. The unemployment rate, derived from a separate survey of households, fell to 6.1% in June to the lowest level since September 2008. Improvement reflects more people employed, while the size of the workforce has remained relatively stable. Economists forecast that employment will increase by 211,000 and the unemployment rate to remain unchanged at 6.3%.

It is worth recalling that the decline in the unemployment rate and recovery in the U.S. labor market are able to push the Fed to change their policy and their understated rates earlier than planned increase. This step, in turn, will reduce investor demand for gold.

The course of trade also influenced the statements of the ECB's Draghi, who said that the European Central Bank remains committed to keep benchmark interest rates at a low level for a long time. During the meeting, the bank's management has decided to leave unchanged all three base rates: lending rate at 0.15% on deposits - at minus 0.1%, and the ">If we evaluate from a technical standpoint, there is a possibility of return to $ 1,300, as after two attempts have failed to overcome resistance at $ 1332.

Meanwhile, add that physical demand for gold was weak due to the recent price rally. Prices for precious metals in China were $ 1 - $ 2 lower than the world, underscoring weak demand.

The cost of the August gold futures on the COMEX today dropped to $ 1321.3 per ounce.

The European Central Bank President Mario Draghi said at the press conference today:

• The ECB will keep interest rate at the present levels for an extended period of time;
  
• "The Governing Council is unanimous in its commitment to also using unconventional instruments" if required, to address risks of a longer period of low inflation;
  
• Geopolitical risks, developments in emerging market economies and global financial markets may have the potential to affect economy in the Eurozone negatively;
  
• The exchange rate of the euro is not a policy target;
  
• If banks don't lend after receiving loans from the European Central Bank, they will have to pay the money back;
  
• The frequency of ECB's monetary policy meetings will change to a six-week cycle from January 2015;
  
• The ECB will start publishing meeting minutes from January 2015;
  
• There are further downside risk relates to insufficient structural reforms in euro area countries;
  
• The economic outlook for the Eurozone remain on the downside;
  
• The economy in the Eurozone recovered moderately in the second quarter;
  
• The ECB is interested in asset-backed securities.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released its labour market data today. U.S. companies added 288,000 jobs in June, exceeding expectations for an increase by 211,000 positions, after a gain of 224,000 jobs in May. May's figure was revised up from a rise of 217,000 positions.

The unemployment rate in the U.S. dropped to 6.1% in June from 6.3% in May. That was the lowest level since September 2008. Analysts had expected the unemployment rate to remain unchanged at 6.3%.

These figures are signs of the strength of the U.S. labour market. Despite of the U.S. economy's contraction in first quarter, the Federal Reserve may hike its interest rate sooner as expected. Analysts expect the first interest rate hike mid-2015.

The U.S. economy contracted 2.9% in the first quarter. The contraction was caused by the extremely cold winter in the U.S. But recently released figures show that the U.S. labour market and U.S. housing market gain momentum.

U.S. stock futures rose as data showed employers added more workers than projected in June and investors awaited details of the European Central Bank's stimulus plans.
