EIA reports came in today, but OIL.WTI didn't react on it as much as NATGAS, where we can see 4% rally fueled by lower than expected US inventories. Oil prices are lower today due to further weak macro data from Chinese economy. In August import in China dropped 7,3% y/y vs 9% exp. from Reuteres analyst but in the 8 months of 2023 but commodity import was 14,7% higher y/y vs 12,5% y/y in July. China economy is the biggest oil importer in the world so macro data and seniments about future macro conditions there are crucial for oil demand, as well as OPEC+ policy.
