U.S. Crude Oil Experiences Nearly 4% Decline Amid Concerns Over Inflation’s Impact on Demand

On Tuesday, U.S. crude oil prices fell by nearly 4% as inflation data raised concerns among traders about the Federal Reserve’s potential reluctance to ease up on interest rates.

The West Texas Intermediate (WTI) contract for January dropped $2.71, or 3.80%, settling at $68.61 a barrel, while the Brent contract for February shed $2.79, or 3.67%, settling at $73.24 a barrel.

While U.S. stocks appeared unaffected by the latest inflation data, oil markets exhibited signs of apprehension. The consumer price index in November showed a 0.1% increase, following an unchanged figure in October. On a year-over-year basis, prices rose by 3.1%, as reported by the U.S. Department of Labor.

Traders expressed concerns that the Federal Reserve might struggle to control inflation, potentially necessitating continued intervention in the form of interest rate adjustments, according to Phil Flynn, an analyst with the Price Futures Group.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, earlier in the month, stated that it is “premature” to discuss cutting interest rates and indicated the central bank’s readiness to raise rates if deemed necessary.

Flynn noted a diminished confidence in the oil market following a seven-week streak of losses.

The decline in oil prices is attributed to record production levels in the U.S., Canada, and Brazil, coupled with a weakened economy in China. This convergence raises fears among traders of an oversupplied market.

Daniel Yergin, Vice Chairman of S&P Global, anticipates oil demand in the coming year to be approximately one million barrels per day less than supply growth. He explained that the prevailing downward pressure on prices is tied to the dominance of supply and demand dynamics.

Despite promises from OPEC members and allies, including Russia, to cut supply by 2.2 million barrels per day in the first quarter of 2024, traders remain skeptical about the group’s ability to deliver on these cuts.

Yergin emphasized that OPEC+ faces a crucial decision—whether to persist with supply cuts or release more oil to the market, allowing prices to decline and undercutting production in non-member nations.
