Thus, world oil prices turned down after rising at the beginning of the trading session of the week. According to analysts, the impact of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah, which took effect on November 27, has reduced the risk premium of oil, causing oil prices to plummet despite both sides accusing each other of violating the agreement. However, supply in this region has not been affected so far.
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 two postponements of production increases, OPEC+ may be considering price risks due to concerns about increased supply.
