Crude oil

Crude oil prices continued to rise on the anticipation of OPEC+ nations deepening output cuts in their upcoming meeting next week.  Oil futures eased on Tuesday, reversing the previous day's rally, as concerns over weaker demand amid a slowing global economy outweighed the prospect of deepening supply cuts by OPEC and its allies such as Russia, Reuters reported.

Brent crude futures fell 19 cents, or 0.2 per cent, to $82.13 a barrel by 0013 GMT while US West Texas Intermediate crude was at $77.68 a barrel, down 15 cents, or 0.2 per cent.

"There are speculations that Saudi Arabia and Russia might extend their voluntary output cuts beyond December 2023 to stabilise global crude oil prices. The upward momentum in crude oil prices was further fuelled by the weakening dollar index and an improvement in investor risk appetite. The U.S. equity markets reaching multi-week highs provided additional support to crude oil prices. China's decision to keep its 1-year and 5-year prime loan rates unchanged on Monday also contributed to the positive sentiment surrounding crude oil prices," said Rahul Kalantri, VP Commodities, Mehta Equities Ltd.

"Expectations are for crude oil prices to remain volatile in today's session. The support for crude oil is identified at $77.10–76.50, with resistance noted at $78.50-79.20 in today's trading session. In terms of INR, crude oil finds support at Rs 6,450-6,370, while resistance is anticipated at Rs 6,632-6,600," Kalantri added.
