Version 2.3 (2024-05-23 05:59:26.401000)

updates: Oil prices fell more than 1% as US Federal Reserve officials indicated interest rate cuts might be deferred due to sustained inflation. Brent was sold at $81.90 per barrel, losing 98 cents or 1.18%, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) was traded at $77.57 per barrel, losing $1.09 or 1.39%. Lower interest rates reduce borrowing costs, freeing up funds that could boost economic growth and oil demand. The US central bank has no intention of cutting rates in the near future, waiting for inflation to come down closer to its target of 2%. The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported an estimated inventory increase of 1.8 million barrels for the week to May 17. Gasoline inventories in the US shed 900,000 barrels in the same week, with production averaging 10 million barrels daily. Falling spot Brent over futures and softer refinery margins have pressured crude markets, likely forcing OPEC+ to extend production cuts at its June meeting to support prices.

updates: Oil prices fell for a third straight session on expectations the Federal Reserve could keep U.S. interest rates higher for longer due to sustained inflation, potentially impacting fuel use in the world's largest oil consumer. U.S. crude oil and gasoline inventories rose last week, while distillates fell. Retail gasoline prices fell for the fourth consecutive week ahead of the Memorial Day holiday, which kicks off the U.S. peak summer driving season. Investors are awaiting minutes from the Fed's last policy meeting and weekly U.S. oil inventory data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) due later on Wednesday.

Version 2.19 (2024-05-21 05:54:49.534000)

updates: The decline in oil prices was attributed to concerns about US inflation and interest rates. Despite political uncertainty in major oil-producing countries, including the death of Iran's president and the health concerns of Saudi Arabia's king, the market remained unfazed. A drone attack damaged the Slavyansk oil refinery in Russia, prompting the country to suspend a ban on gasoline exports until June 30. However, the ban will be reinstated from July 1 to August 31.

Version 2.18 (2024-05-21 05:52:29.619000)

updates: Mixed signals from US Federal Reserve and OPEC+

Version 2.13 (2024-05-20 05:53:35.293000)

updates: Oil prices inched up in Asian trading on Monday. The previous week, crude prices had gained ground due to the prospect of interest rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve and improving demand from major importer China. The U.S. government's announcement of purchasing around 3.3 million barrels of oil to replenish the Strategic Petroleum Reserve also buoyed the markets. Investors are awaiting cues on U.S. interest rates and the economy from the Federal Reserve's late-April meeting minutes and addresses from several Fed officials. The upcoming meeting of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies on June 1 will also be closely watched for updates on production cuts.

updates: Uncertainties surrounding oil demand impact WTI crude oil prices

Version 2.06 (2024-05-13 02:55:33.682000)

updates: Oil prices continue to decline due to weak fuel demand and a strong dollar. Brent crude futures fell 0.3% to $82.53 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures dropped 0.3% to $78.03 a barrel. The decline is attributed to signs of weak demand and comments from U.S. Federal Reserve officials that dampened hopes of economic recovery. The strong dollar also makes dollar-denominated oil more expensive for investors holding other currencies. Refiners are struggling with slumping profits for diesel due to increased supplies and slow economic activity. However, the market remains supported by expectations that OPEC+ could extend supply cuts into the second half of the year. Iraq, the second-largest oil producer, is committed to voluntary production cuts agreed by OPEC+ and is willing to cooperate with member countries for stability in oil markets.

Version 2.04 (2024-05-12 07:53:58.340000)

updates: Crude oil prices fell on Friday due to comments from US central bank officials indicating higher-for-longer interest rates, which could hinder demand from the world's largest crude consumers. Prices were also pressured by a strengthening US dollar and rising US fuel inventories approaching the summer driving season. However, Brent crude futures climbed after Saudi Arabia raised its official selling prices for June, signaling expectations of strong demand this summer.

updates: Oil prices fell in early Asian trading on Monday, erasing gains from Friday as Israel-Hamas peace talks in Cairo eased fears of a wider conflict in the Middle East and U.S. inflation data further dimmed the prospects of interest rate cuts anytime soon. Stepped-up efforts to mediate a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas moderated geopolitical tensions and contributed to the weak opening on Monday. A Hamas delegation will visit Cairo on Monday for peace talks. China’s industrial profit growth slowed down in March, official data showed on Saturday, in the latest sign of frail domestic demand in the world’s second-largest economy.

updates: Oil prices rise as US official eases market concerns over economic headwinds

Version 1.59 (2024-04-25 23:55:12.508000)

updates: Oil prices are heading for a narrow weekly gain ahead of the release of US inflation data, which will provide further insights into monetary policy. West Texas Intermediate is approaching $84 a barrel after a 0.9% increase on Thursday, while global benchmark Brent closed just above $89. The Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge is set to be released later on Friday, following data that showed a slowdown in inflation. Other indicators of price increases in the US remained higher than expected.

Version 1.57 (2024-04-25 13:59:46.111000)

updates: Oil prices remain steady despite US economic slowdown

Version 1.56 (2024-04-25 08:58:26.452000)

updates: Oil prices experienced a slight downturn amid concerns over the U.S. economy and escalating tensions in the Middle East. Brent crude futures declined by 9 cents to $86.95 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures slipped by 7 cents to $82.74 a barrel. Geopolitical tensions, including Israeli airstrikes in Gaza, counterbalanced worries about a potential slowdown in the U.S. economy. April data revealed a four-month low in U.S. business activity, and the U.S. Federal Reserve remains concerned about high inflation and employment readings. Despite an unexpected decrease in U.S. crude oil inventories, oil prices only experienced a temporary boost before resuming their downward trend.

Version 1.55 (2024-04-25 07:57:52.503000)

updates: Oil prices held steady, US crude inventories decreased, US business activity cooled, Israel-Hamas conflict continues

Version 1.54 (2024-04-25 06:55:13.945000)

updates: Oil prices were little changed as falling fuel demand in the U.S. contended with concerns for a widening conflict in the Middle East. Gasoline demand in the U.S. dropped 2.8% from the previous week and is down 11% from a year ago. Distillate fuel demand also declined. The falling fuel demand is occurring amid signs of cooling U.S. business activity and as stronger-than-expected inflation and employment data means the U.S. Federal Reserve is more likely to delay expected interest rate cuts.

Version 1.23 (2024-04-17 07:18:49.627000)

updates: Oil prices extended losses on Wednesday as worries about global demand due to weak economic momentum in China and a likely rise in U.S. commercial stockpiles outweighed supply fears from heightened tensions in the Middle East.

Version 1.22 (2024-04-17 05:21:43.840000)

updates: Oil prices fell slightly on Tuesday after economic headwinds offset support provided by the United States' announcement of plans to hit Iran with new sanctions after the Middle Eastern country's weekend attack on Israel. Concerns that Iran would respond to the April 1 strike on its embassy compound in Damascus had sent Brent to $92.18 on Friday, its highest level since October. But prices retreated on Monday after Iran's attack on Israel over the weekend proved to be less damaging than anticipated, and economic challenges added further pressure. U.S. Secretary Janet Yellen said the U.S. intends to hit Iran with new sanctions in coming days due to its unprecedented attack on Israel, and that these actions could seek to reduce Iran's capacity to export oil. The concerns about demand increased due to expectations that U.S. interest rate cuts would be delayed and weaker-than-expected economic data from China. The Federal Reserve will likely need more time to be confident that inflation is on the path to 2%. China's economy grew faster than expected in the first quarter, but indicators for March, including property investment, retail sales, and industrial output, showed that domestic demand remains weak. In the Middle East, Israel's war cabinet postponed its meeting to decide on a response to Iran's attack, as Western allies considered imposing new sanctions against Tehran. The attack is unlikely to result in significant sanctions on Iran's oil exports due to concerns about oil prices and China's position as a top buyer. U.S. crude oil inventories rose more than expected, while gasoline and distillates stockpiles fell.

updates: Oil prices steadied near five-month highs as an Israeli strike in Gaza undermined recent reports of ceasefire talks with Hamas. Concerns over worsening geopolitical tensions saw crude prices rise. Brent oil futures rose 0.1% to $90.55 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate crude futures rose 0.1% to $85.50 a barrel. An Israeli airstrike in the Gaza Strip fed into growing concerns that ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas will fall through. Iran also maintained its threat of potential military action against Israel. Official data showed US crude inventories grew 5.8 million barrels in the week to April 5, much more than expectations for a build of 0.9 million. The build marked a third consecutive week of outsized growth in US inventories.

updates: Oil prices extended gains on Friday and headed for a second weekly gain, supported by geopolitical tensions in Europe and the Middle East, concerns over tightening supply and optimism about global fuel demand growth as economies improve. Brent crude climbed 59 cents, or 0.7 percent, to $91.24 a barrel by 9:46 a.m. Saudi time. US West Texas Intermediate crude was at $87.02 a barrel, up 43 cents, or 0.5 percent. Both benchmarks settled at their highest since October on Thursday. Brent and WTI are set to notch a more than 4 percent gain this week, climbing for a second straight week, after third-largest Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries producer Iran vowed revenge against Israel for an attack that killed high-ranking Iranian military personnel. Ongoing Ukrainian drone attacks on refineries in Russia may have disrupted more than 15 percent of Russian capacity, a NATO official said on Thursday, hitting the country’s fuel output. OPEC and its allies including Russia, known as OPEC+, this week kept their oil supply policy unchanged and pressed some countries to increase compliance with output cuts. Heavy oil supply has also tightened globally after Mexico and the UAE cut exports of these grades. This comes amid solid global oil demand growth of 1.4 million barrels per day in the first quarter.

Version 0.25 (2024-03-19 07:19:15.032000)

updates: Oil prices remained close to a four-and-a-half month high on Tuesday, driven by reduced exports from Iraq and Saudi Arabia, which indicated tighter oil markets. Over the past week, oil prices surged due to increased refinery activity in the U.S., improved demand from China, and ongoing disruptions in the Middle East. Data from Saudi Arabia indicated that crude exports from the largest producer declined for the second consecutive month in January. Industrial production, fixed asset investment, and travel demand in China showed better-than-expected growth in the first two months of 2024. The focus now shifts to the conclusion of the two-day Federal Reserve meeting on Wednesday, where it is widely anticipated that the central bank will maintain interest rates at their current levels. Market participants are cautious of any potentially more hawkish signals from the central bank. In addition to the Fed, market attention this week is also directed towards a series of purchasing managers index (PMI) readings for March from the U.S. and other major economies.
