Oil Prices Have Fallen Again And Broken A New Record, With Brent Crude Futures Registering A Sharp Decline.

Investors are worried about the weak demand for the commodity, which resulted in another drop in oil prices this Tuesday. Brent crude futures fell 1.1%, reaching $77.20 per barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude slipped 1.0%, hitting $72.32. Additionally, a stronger dollar also contributed to the decrease in prices.

According to Craig Erlam, an analyst at the data and analytics company Oanda, the OPEC+ agreement to voluntarily cut production by about 2 million barrels per day for the first quarter of 2024 had little impact on prices. The most recent close represents the lowest value reached in the past five months, with a consecutive decline over four days indicating a loss of confidence among traders in the market. Relevant OPEC+ members, such as Saudi Arabia and Russia, which produce more than 40% of the world’s oil, have failed to boost prices even with the initiative to cut production. The lowest close for both contracts was the worst since early July, reaching levels not seen since then. For WTI, this was the first time prices have decreased for four consecutive days since May.
