Brent crude prices swooned in April: the combined impact of demand worries and projected supply increases pulling average prices down USD 5/bbl, to the lowest monthly average in more than three years.

The WOOD benchmark strengthened in April, due mainly to better petrol cracks, as we move towards driving season. Petrochemicals remain in the doldrums, despite lower input costs.
