World oil prices
World crude oil price data from TradingEconomics and Oilprice shows that crude oil prices increased slightly.
Specifically, at 6:55 a.m. (Vietnam time) today, December 11, WTI oil price was trading around 68.5 USD/barrel, up 0.4 USD/barrel, up 0.24% on the day.
Brent crude oil prices are trading around $72 per barrel, up nearly $1 per barrel from yesterday. During the night of December 10, WTI and Brent crude oil prices increased sharply, with Brent crude at one point rising to $72.6 per barrel.
In recent days, the world crude oil price market has fluctuated erratically due to the direct impact of the decision to extend the production cuts of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies (OPEC+) until the end of the first quarter of 2025.
In addition, many heated political developments increased, political turmoil in Syria when rebels overthrew the government had a direct impact on world crude oil prices.
Support came from reports that China will adopt a more accommodative monetary policy in 2025 as Beijing tries to boost economic growth. This would be the first easing in 14 years, although details remain scarce.
China’s crude imports also rose on an annual basis for the first time in seven months, jumping in November from a year earlier. However, the increase was due to higher inventories rather than improved demand, said Tamas Varga of oil broker PVM.
“The economy will only be stimulated by improving consumer sentiment and spending, by increasing domestic aggregate demand coupled with rising consumer inflation,” he added.
Speculation about winter demand is also a factor, according to Phil Flynn, senior analyst at Price Futures Group.
“Hedge funds are starting to buy due to tight supply in the European market this winter,” he said.
