Brent Looks Weaker Than Usual

By Dmitriy Gurkovskiy, Chief Analyst at RoboForex

Oil is starting a new November weak with a decline. Brent is trading at $81.27 and looking rather weak so far.

The latest statistics from Baker Hughes showed that the Oil Rig Count added 4 units over the week and now equals 454. It’s a pretty bearish signal – the drilling activity in the US is accelerating, which may result in higher output, hence an excessive supply.

The latest report from the United States Department of Energy says that the oil extraction in the fourth quarter of 2021 will add 0.3 million bpdб while the total daily output will reach 11.6 million bpd. If everything goes as planned, the DoE will adjust its forecast once again in December.

This week, the International Energy Agency is scheduled to publish its forecasts on the supply and demand – oil investors are ready to respond.
