This week, the international crude oil market fluctuated and rose, mainly due to weak market sentiment. With the impact of the Asian decline in international crude oil prices, SC crude oil entered a long short tug of war. Lido still faces the unresolved Red Sea crisis. From a bearish perspective, on the macro level, the better than expected US employment data has lowered the probability of the Federal Reserve lowering interest rates in March, leading to a cooling of oil demand expectations. Adding to last week's EIA report, which showed a higher than expected increase in US refined oil inventories, the weakening of US oil demand has weighed on the market.
