Quite a positive report for OIL prices, but these nevertheless came under pressure today, although still close to opening levels after OPEC's surprising decision. It can be seen that demand is struggling to try to push prices to higher levels. Today, oil may have problems through the increasingly visible US economic problems.

We are potentially seeing a peak in comparative inventories (inverted axis). This could be a pro-growth signal on oil, but on the other hand, economically, oil could be in trouble due to recession concerns. Nevertheless, OPEC+ is cutting production, there will be less oil on the market, which could prompt the inventories to fall further in the US. Source: Bloomberg, XTB
