Recorded at 8:00 a.m. on November 5 (Vietnam time), Brent crude oil price reached 75.08 USD/barrel and WTI crude oil price reached 71.4 USD/barrel. At the end of yesterday's trading session, both Brent crude oil price and WTI crude oil price increased by 2.7%.
According to analysts, the decline in US gasoline and oil inventories has supported the rise in oil prices. According to the US Energy Information Administration, in the week ending October 25, US gasoline inventories fell by 2.7 million barrels to a two-year low; oil inventories fell by 500,000 barrels.
In addition, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies (OPEC+) may extend production cuts to 2025, abandoning plans to gradually increase production from December due to weak oil demand from China and increased non-OPEC supply.
