Welcome to Extreme Investor Network, where we provide you with the latest insights and analysis on the stock market, trading, and all things related to Wall Street. In today’s update, we take a closer look at the recent developments in the oil market:
– U.S. crude oil imports have decreased by 226,000 bpd, with an average of 6.7 million bpd. Meanwhile, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve has seen an increase from 367.2 million barrels to 367.8 million barrels as the U.S. continued to bolster its strategic reserves.
– Despite the decrease in imports, domestic oil production has remained unchanged at 13.1 million bpd. This comes as no surprise, given the recent downward trend in oil prices.
– WTI oil has rebounded from session lows, currently trying to settle above the $77.50 level. Oil prices have been near multi-month lows, with concerns about the demand for oil weighing on traders’ minds.
– Brent oil has settled near the $82.00 level post the EIA report release. The geopolitical premium for oil prices has decreased notably in recent weeks, as doubts about supply disruptions in the Middle East emerge. Positive catalysts are needed to shift the current trend in oil markets.
