Brent crude oil prices have declined to 71.65 USD per barrel as the commodity market remains tense ahead of this week’s postponed OPEC+ meeting, now rescheduled for Thursday, 6 December. The market is concerned about the direction of future global oil supply amid fears of oversaturation. The prevailing expectation is that OPEC+ might delay its planned increase in oil supply for the third time, reflecting persistent supply uncertainties.

Despite these pressures, there are optimistic signals from the oil sector, particularly China, where a resurgence in production activity is seen as a sign of gradual economic improvement in one of the world’s largest importers of raw materials. This development could bolster the energy sector.

The geopolitical landscape remains mixed, with traders closely monitoring tensions in the Middle East. Any escalation could heighten regional instability and affect the overall oil supply dynamics in these areas.

So far, the recent strengthening of the US dollar has not significantly impacted oil prices. However, future market dynamics could shift as global economic conditions evolve.
