Oil prices fell slightly after a report showed a sharp rise in US crude stockpiles. Brent for January delivery was trading at around US$64.6 per barrel, while WTI for December was around US$60.4. Data from the American Petroleum Institute showed an increase in inventories of around 4.4 million barrels, which could push US oil stocks to their highest level in more than five months, although the market is also still monitoring the impact of Western sanctions on Russian producers Rosneft and Lukoil.
Trendwise, oil has weakened this year due to concerns that global supply will exceed demand. The IEA predicts a potential oversupply next year, supported by high production from OPEC+ and other countries, while nearly 1.4 billion barrels of oil are currently being transported or stored on tankers. As a result, oil prices remain stuck in a narrow range, sandwiched between stories of a supply surplus and geopolitical risks from Russia. (asd)
