The world crude oil price index curves slightly moved up yesterday after a down side pressure in the early trading hours. Rising virus cases in Europe and potential release of SPR in major consuming nations may dent oil demand, Mounting oversupply concerns and strong dollar pressed oil prices. On the technical side, Oil prices lost momentum after heavy selling, Concentrated Brent (-12 Mb) and WTI(-34 Mb) last week by fund managers and other money managers as reported by ICE Futures Europe and the U.S commodity Futures Trading Commission. As per analysts, Speculation has become over heated by the start of October with most of the investors anticipating further big gains in prices even as prices were touching their highest levels for three years. On the other hand, SPR release should only have a short term effect. It reduces backwardation and have little effect on the back of the curve. API numbers are due later today. Today, Asian markets are trading red today, Clawing back some of yesterday&#39s gains. Good day to all.
