OIL MARKET NEWS

-

Oil prices fell in early trade on Thursday, with Brent futures struggling to defend USD 50 per barrel as fears over strike outages in Norway faded and as Nigeria's production improved. 

 

International Brent crude oil futures were trading at USD 50.10 per barrel at 0126 GMT, down 51 cents, or 1 percent, from their last settlement. US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were down 38 cents, or 0.76 %, at USD 49.50 a barrel. 

 

The US Energy Information Administration reported on Wednesday that crude stockpiles fell 4.1 million barrels in the week to June 24, the sixth consecutive week of drawdowns, to 526.6 million barrels. 

 

US crude oil production was at 8.62 million bpd, down from a peak of over 9.6 million bpd in June 2015. In the Middle East, OPEC's second biggest producer Iraq is set to see output fall for a second straight month in June. Iraq's seaborne exports in the first 29 days of June have averaged 3.14 million bpd, according to loading data tracked by Reuters and an industry source. That would be down 60,000 bpd from May.

The Sensex was down 11 per cent in September 2008, 5.4 per cent in 2018 and dropped by 2.1 per cent in the same month in 2011, data from AceEquity shows. Indian markets remained in a bear grip in August and the trend is unlikely to shift towards the bulls with no big triggers expected in September, say experts. The month of September is off to a muted start, with both the Sensex and the Nifty trading below crucial support levels. The Sensex broke below 37,000 and the Nifty 11,000. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the index has given flat to negative returns in September in six of the last 11 years. The index saw a drop of more than 11 percent in September 2008, followed by 2018 when it slipped 5.4 percent, and in 2011 it dropped by 2.1 percent, data from AceEquity shows. Apart from two tall towers witnessed in 2009 and 2010, the gains in September in the 11-year period have not been that inspiring. The index rallied 10.2 percent in 2010, followed by 10.13 pe
