Peace be upon you. We will talk about commercial news. 

I hope you enjoy our distinguished article with your presence. 

About global trade

During the past week, the world witnessed a series of events that affected various sectors of the growing global economy. 
On the one hand, some events promised further developments and expansion not only in international trade but also in specific countries. 
On the other hand, some events may adversely affect or change certain aspects of global trade including the economy of the country in question specifically.

Oil prices are falling in the global market.   
The whole week is full of good news for oil importers around the world.
Since Monday, the price of oil has fallen by $2 per barrel on the global market.
 Before that, the value of oil continued to increase due to supply disruptions in Iraq as well as in Nigeria.
According to the report of Mohamed ElBaradei, Director of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Iraq plans to enable its production of nuclear fuel.

commercial discussion

Discussion on this issue is currently ongoing.
The IAEA will address the issue at its scheduled meeting on March 6, after which the report will be handed over  to UN security for final assessment.
The reason for the drop in the price of oil by about $2 in the global market is due to a failed terrorist attack that took place in the largest oil factory in Saudi Arabia. 
Although the situation was immediately taken under control by the Saudi forces who were raised to high alert due to the tension.

The value of light crude oil decreased by $1.91, while the price of Brent crude fell to $1.61.
But the opposite situation is happening in Nigeria.

As a result of the existence of a series of threats and armed attacks within the region, the price of oil rose.

According to energy analysts, the improvement in the price of oil in the global market could have been better. 

However, there are many factors (such as the oil market's focus on short-term inventory data) that prevent a more positive outcome.
