According to the news, oil prices rebounded yesterday due to Hurricane Francine disrupting oil production in the Gulf of Mexico. WTI's October crude oil futures closed up 1.66 US dollars, or 2.46%, to 68.97 US dollars/barrel; Brent crude oil futures closed up 1.36 US dollars, or 1.92%, to 71.97 US dollars/barrel in November. According to reports, due to the ravages of tropical storm “Francine,” about 42% of crude oil production facilities in the US Gulf of Mexico have now been shut down.
Furthermore, Galaxy Futures said that in the medium term, OPEC's delay in withdrawing from production cuts has some support for the crude oil market. After the crude oil market fluctuates at a low level, the possibility of a market rebound is not ruled out, but since the possibility of OPEC withdrawing and cutting production increases after the rebound, there is not much room for a rebound. Looking at the long term, the crude oil market may still decline in the later stages under increased production in non-OPEC countries and a decline in the growth rate of international crude oil demand, especially when OPEC may withdraw from production cuts.
