On the other hand, the supply of crude oil remains tight. The OPEC+ 2.2 million barrels per day production reduction before the end of November will still be effective, and some oil producing countries have stated that they will carry out compensatory production cuts. The supply shortage still exists, and the international crude oil price trend is rising. In addition, the local economy in Asia has improved, and the market's panic on demand has eased, boosting the international oil market. Finally, the decrease in US crude oil inventories supported the oil market positively.
