The oil prices faced significant pressure following the release of crude oil stock data by the United States at 21:30 WIB. The report indicated an increase of 1.328 million barrels, which was considerably higher than the Trading Central forecast predicting a decrease of 1.85 million barrels. While this figure was lower than the prior data recorded at 3.454 million barrels, the rise in stock is still seen as a signal of either weakening demand or a surplus in market supply, raising concerns among market participants.
The market’s reaction to the data was swift, with oil prices experiencing a sharp decline, reaching a low of $61.99. This drop reflects a negative response from investors to the unexpected surge in stock levels, as well as the possible supply surplus on the horizon. Should the selling pressure continue without any fundamental support to stabilize prices, oil risks further weakening toward the next support area at $61.50.
