According to Bloomberg, during this period, the price of WTI oil rose to an average of 63 dollars 77 cents per barrel from 51 dollars 63 cents a barrel.

Bloomberg sources note that in order to help reduce the foreign trade deficit of the United States with China, China plans to buy US oil worth $25 billion a year.
