exports.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Despite the mobility restrictions that are still in place, oil demand is recovering dynamically around the world,&#8221; Commerzbank said.<\/p>\n<p>Iran has been in talks with world powers since April, working on steps that Tehran and Washington must take on sanctions and nuclear activities to return to full compliance with the 2015 nuclear pact.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday the

demand outstripping supply in the order of 650,000 barrels per day and 950,000 bpd in Q3 and Q4 respectively,&#8221; ANZ analysts said, adding that this includes 500,000 bpd of increase in Iranian
