Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The Organisation of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (OAPEC) said world oil demand and non-OPEC supply were both expected to rise in the third quarter of 1995. Kuwait-based OAPEC said in its monthly report that demand in the third quarter would rise by 1.6 percent to 68.5 million barrels per day (bpd) from 67.4 million bpd in the same period of 1994. Oil supply from non-OPEC states is expected to rise 2.4 percent to 41.7 million bpd in the third quarter of 1995 from 41 million bpd in the same period of 1994.

World commodity prices will stabilise this year but declining stocks may put food security in the least developed countries at risk, the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization said. In its Commodity Review" for 1994/95, the Rome-based body said prices in general will be supported in 1995 by economic recovery in most developed regions and reduced stocks for several commodities.
