Oil prices slumped at the end of October due to the second wave of coronavirus. WTI Crude Oil futures (December) lost 14% from the top of October. More and more European countries announced the lockdown plans to limit the new inflections.
JPMorgan lowered the 4Q average Brent forecast to $39/bbl from $41/bbl as renewed lockdowns in Europe further weigh on demand. The bank cut the oil demand estimates by 890K barrels per day for November and 1.08M barrels per day for December.
On the other hand, OPEC+ might delay its January output increase for extra three months, reported Bloomberg. Russia President Vladimir Putin also said he was open to a delay for the oil cut plan.
Bearish readers could set the resistance level at $39.80, while support level would be located at $33.50 and $30.40 respectively.
