Crude Oil on MCX settled up 3.11% at 5501 ahead of U.S. sanctions against Iran, the third-largest producer in the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), that kick in next month.
Prices were supported by a report of a stagnant rig count in the United States, which points to a slowdown in U.S. crude production, which now rivals top producers Russia and Saudi Arabia.
OPEC delivered only a limited increase in oil production in September, as a cut in Iranian shipments due to U.S. sanctions offset higher output in Libya, Saudi Arabia and Angola.
The 15-member Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries pumped 32.85 million barrels per day in September, the survey on Monday found, up 90,000 bpd from August’s revised level and the highest this year.
In a sign that the financial market is positioning itself for further price rises, hedge funds increased their bullish wagers on U.S. crude in the week to Sept. 25, data from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) showed, increasing futures and options positions in New York and London by 3,728 contracts to 346,566 during the period.
With oil prices soaring, there are concerns over their inflationary effect on demand growth, especially in Asia’s emerging markets where weakening currencies are further adding to high fuel import costs.
Add the trade disputes between the United States and other major powers, especially China, and economic growth into 2019 could be eroded.
