On Tuesday, crude oil prices plunged to their lowest levels since December 2021, with both major benchmarks falling nearly 4%. This sharp decline came in the wake of OPEC+ downgrading its demand forecast for 2024 and 2025, a move that overshadowed supply concerns arising from Tropical Storm Francine, as reported by Reuters.
Key market movements:
West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude: Closed at $65.75 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, dropping $2.96 or 4.31% At one point, WTI futures fell over 5%, touching their lowest levels since May 2023
Brent crude futures: Settled at $69.19 per barrel on ICE Futures Europe, and fell $2.65 or 3.69%. Earlier in the trading session, Brent declined by more than $3 per barrel.
This significant price drop underscores the market's sensitivity to demand projections, particularly those from influential bodies like OPEC+. The revised forecast appears to have outweighed immediate supply disruption concerns, highlighting the complex interplay of factors influencing global oil prices.
Analysts will closely monitor how these price movements might impact production decisions and investment in the oil sector in the coming weeks.
U.S. stocks finished mostly higher on Tuesday afternoon, with the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite scoring back-to-back gains ahead of Wednesday's release of August's CPI inflation report.

Traders also look at two key economic reports that will likely decide the size of the Federal Reserve's first interest-rate cut next week. August's consumer-price index report is due Wednesday morning at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time, followed by the producer-price index report on Thursday morning.
U.S. bankruptcy filings spiked in August after a slowdown in July, propelling the total for the first eight months of the year to the highest level since 2020 and second-highest since 2010, S&P Global Market Intelligence said Monday.
There were 452 filings in the year through end August, which compares with 466 in the same period in 2020, when the pandemic was still in full swing, and 604 in the same period in 2010.
