Western Texas Intermediate (WTI) price struggles to snap its losing streak that began on Wednesday, hovering above $75.00 per barrel during the European session on Tuesday.

Amidst the negative bias for the US Dollar, there's an expectation that the upcoming meeting of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies (OPEC+) on Thursday could bring some support to crude oil prices. The anticipation is centered around the possibility of OPEC+ extending the oil production cut in 2024.

The upcoming OPEC+ meeting takes place against the backdrop of a significant decline in Crude oil prices, driven by concerns about oversupply despite the ongoing output cuts by OPEC+. The substantial production from non-OPEC countries, notably the United States (US), has added pressure on oil prices.

Meanwhile, China's release of the NBS Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) data on Thursday holds potential significance. Better-than-expected data from the world's largest Crude oil importer could have a positive impact on WTI prices.

Last week, OPEC+ contributed to the volatility by postponing its meeting to address disagreements over production targets for African producers. Furthermore, the International Energy Agency (IEA) anticipates a slight surplus in Crude oil production in 2024, even if OPEC+ nations extend their cuts into the next year.

Oil traders will watch API Weekly Crude Oil Stock for the week ending on November 24 on Tuesday and EIA Crude Oil Stocks Change for the said period on Wednesday.

Editor's Picks

EUR/USD drops to daily lows near 1.1630

EUR/USD now loses some traction and slips back to the area of daily lows around 1.1630 on the back of a mild bounce in the US Dollar. Fresh US data, including the September PCE inflation numbers and the latest read on December consumer sentiment, didn’t really move the needle, so the pair is still on course to finish the week with a respectable gain.

GBP/USD trims gains, recedes toward 1.3320

GBP/USD is struggling to keep its daily advance, coming under fresh pressure and retreating to the 1.3320 zone following a mild bullish attempt in the Greenback. Even though US consumer sentiment surprised to the upside, the US Dollar isn’t getting much love, as traders are far more interested in what the Fed will say next week.

Gold makes a U-turn, back to $4,200

Gold is now losing the grip and receding to the key $4,200 region per troy ounce following some signs of life in the Greenback and a marked bounce in US Treasury yields across the board. The positive outlook for the precious metal, however, remains underpinned by steady bets for extra easing by the Fed.
