Thus, after a week of sharp declines, world oil prices rebounded in the first trading session of the week. According to analysts, the conflict in the Middle East is still quite tense, making oil prices susceptible to increasing at any time, even though the supply in this region has not been affected so far.
In addition, world oil prices are also affected by information on employment, unemployment benefits, manufacturing purchasing managers index, consumer sentiment index... of the US to be announced this week.
The market is also waiting for news on production from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies (OPEC+), scheduled to meet on December 5. After postponing production increases twice, OPEC+ may be considering price risks due to concerns about increased supply.
