Oil prices closed slightly higher today in a volatile trading session on Thursday, as a sharp drop in U.S. fuel inventories outweighed concerns about oversupply and demand concerns stemming from a stronger dollar.
Brent crude oil prices are expected to fall about 1.7% for the week, while WTI crude oil prices are expected to end the week down more than 2% due to a stronger US dollar and concerns about rising supplies amid slowing demand growth.
U.S. gasoline inventories fell 4.4 million barrels last week, the Energy Information Administration said, compared with analysts' expectations in a Reuters poll for a 600,000-barrel increase. The 206.9 million-barrel stockpile for the week ended Nov. 8 was the lowest since November 2022.
Distillate stockpiles, which include diesel and heating oil, fell by 1.4 million barrels, compared with expectations for a 200,000-barrel increase.
US gasoline futures rose 0.8%, while heating oil futures closed down about 0.3% after briefly surging on the data.
However, limiting oil's upside was a 2.1 million barrel build in US crude inventories last week, much higher than analysts' expectations for a 750,000 barrel build.
Meanwhile, the International Energy Agency forecasts global oil supply will exceed demand by 2025 even if OPEC+, which includes the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies such as Russia, continues to cut output, as rising output from the United States and other outside producers outpaces sluggish demand.
The Paris-based agency raised its 2024 demand growth forecast by 60,000 barrels per day to 920,000 barrels per day and kept its 2025 oil demand growth forecast unchanged at 990,000 barrels per day.
The premium of the front-month WTI contract over the second-month contract also narrowed this week to its lowest since June. The narrowing premium, known as backwardation, suggests that perceptions of tight supplies for prompt delivery have eased.
The dollar jumped to a one-year high and was headed for a fifth straight day of gains on rising bond yields and President-elect Donald Trump's election victory in the United States.
A stronger greenback makes dollar-priced oil more expensive for holders of other currencies, which could dampen demand.
Kelvin Wong, senior market analyst at OANDA, said the rise in the US 10-year Treasury yield and the 10-year breakeven inflation rate jumping to 2.35% have added to demand concerns.
“ (This) increases the likelihood that the Fed will embark on a shallow rate-cutting cycle in 2025 (and) overall, there will be less liquidity to fuel increased oil demand ,” he added.
OPEC on Tuesday cut its forecast for global oil demand growth this year and next, highlighting weakness in China, India and other regions, marking the producer group's fourth straight downward revision to its 2024 outlook.
"Crude oil futures are struggling to establish a balance as the rising US dollar index creates additional headwinds, coupled with the Trump administration now controlling Congress, which is likely to reverse most of the Biden administration's energy policies," Dennis Kissler, senior vice president of trading at BOK Financial, said in a note.
UBS Switzerland AG oil strategist Giovanni Staunovo wrote in a note that Brent crude is expected to average $80 in 2025, down from a late-September forecast of $85, citing lower demand growth estimates, especially from China.
“ Overall, we see the oil market being balanced or slightly oversupplied next year ,” Staunovo said.
