WTI Holds Gains On Surprise Crude Draw; US Production Hit New Record Highs
Oil prices are up this morning on the possibility of tighter sanctions on Russian crude and held its gains after US inflation data matched expectations.
US consumer prices rose 0.3% in November, meeting expectations and leaving traders to focus on a report that the Biden administration is considering tougher sanctions on Russia’s oil trade. Curtailing Russian barrels could tighten the market and drive up prices before President-elect Donald Trump takes office. Details of the possible measures were still being worked out, according to people familiar with the matter.
The market is focused on the official crude inventory data from the US Department of Energy after API reported a small buildup last week.

Meanwhile, OPEC made its deepest cut yet to global demand growth forecasts for this year, slashing projections by 27% since July.
The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries lowered projections for consumption growth in 2024 by 210,000 barrels a day.
As the cartel belatedly recognizes the deteriorating market picture, the US Energy Information reversed its prediction for a surplus and now calls for a small deficit next year.
“The latest EIA report has caught some by surprise with a forecast of a mostly balanced oil market in 2025, versus some calling for a strongly oversupplied market,” UBS Group AG commodity analyst Giovanni Staunovo said.
