Broader Market Could Impact Oil-Weighted Stocks
On November 7, US crude oil December futures fell 0.9% and closed at $61.67 per barrel—the lowest closing level for active US crude oil futures since March 15. On the same day, US crude oil inventories rose by 5.8 MMbbls (million barrels) for the week ending November 2. The increase might have caused US crude oil’s fall apart from rising supply concerns. A Reuters poll indicated a rise of 2.43 MMbbls in US crude oil inventories.
