Na madrugada do dia 13 de agosto de 1961 teve início a construção do Muro de Berlim, erguido pela República Democrática Alemã (Alemanha Oriental) durante a Guerra Fria. Esta barreira física circundava toda a Berlim Ocidental, separando-a da Alemanha Oriental, incluindo Berlim Oriental. O muro tinha 66,5 quilômetros de gradeamento metálico, 302 torres de observação, 127 redes metálicas electrificadas com alarme e 255 pistas de corrida para cães de guarda. Oficialmente, 80 pessoas morreram na tentativa de atravessar este muro. Além da barreira física, o muro também simbolizava a divisão ideológica do mundo em dois blocos: República Federal da Alemanha (RFA), formado pelos países capitalistas, e a República Democrática Alemã (RDA), composto por países socialistas simpatizantes do regime soviético. O muro de Berlim só foi derrubado no dia 9 de novembro de 1989 após uma série de movimentos revolucionários no leste europeu.

Global liquid fuels

Brent crude oil spot prices averaged $74 per barrel (b) in July, largely unchanged from the average in June. EIA expects Brent spot prices will average $72/b in 2018 and $71/b in 2019. EIA expects West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil prices will average about $6/b lower than Brent prices in 2018 and in 2019. NYMEX WTI futures and options contract values for November 2018 delivery that traded during the five-day period ending August 2, 2018, suggest a range of $54/b to $84/b encompasses the market expectation for November WTI prices at the 95% confidence level.

U.S. regular gasoline retail prices averaged $2.85 gallon (gal) in July, down 4 cents/gal from the average in June. EIA expects that 2018 monthly average gasoline prices peaked in May and forecasts prices will remain relatively flat in the coming months, averaging $2.83/gal in September. EIA expects regular gasoline retail prices to average $2.76/gal in 2018 and in 2019.

EIA estimates that U.S. crude oil production averaged 10.8 million barrels per day (b/d) in July, up 47,000 b/d from June. EIA forecasts that U.S. crude oil production will average 10.7 million b/d in 2018, up from 9.4 million b/d in 2017, and will average 11.7 million b/d in 2019.

EIA forecasts total global liquid fuels inventories to decrease by 0.3 million b/d in 2018 compared with 2017, followed by an increase of 0.3 million b/d in 2019. This outlook of relatively stable inventory levels over the forecast period contributes to a forecast of monthly average Brent crude oil prices remaining relatively stable between $70/b and $73/b, from August 2018 through the end of 2019.
