West Texas Intermediate (WTI) futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) are fluctuating below the key resistance of $80.00 during the early European session. As investors anticipate a fresh impetus from Federal Reserve (Fed) chairman Jerome Powell's upcoming address, oil prices have been neglected by market players.

 

The black gold has drifted sideways following Monday's phenomenally strong buying action near $74.00. Prior to Fed Powell's speech, the recent increase and bullish expectations for oil prices are contingent on considerable pressure on the US Dollar. After a dip in inflation in October, investors are eager to know if the Federal Reserve is seriously considering a slower rate of interest rate increases.

 

The United States American Petroleum Institute (API) reported a large decline in oil inventories for the week ending November 25. This has also contributed to a rise in oil prices. The oil supply has decreased by 7.85 million barrels. This is the third straight decline in oil inventory published by the API, which has given the oil bulls a shot of adrenaline. However, investors will await the Energy Information Administration's (EIA) official oil inventory report for relevant indicators.

 

The case for supply concerns has been supported by news reports from Russia that the country will not provide oil under a price cap anyway, as stated by the country's Deputy Prime Minister, Alexander Novak.

 

In addition, predictions that OPEC+ will expand supply cutbacks at its December meeting are keeping oil bulls in check. The oil cartel declared that the promise to reduce production by two million barrels per day will be extended to the end of CY2023. In light of the current decline in oil prices, the oil mafia may increase production cuts.
