Crude Oil price faces challenges on weak demand projection due to higher interest rates. US CPI inflation came in higher month-on-month for November which put downward pressure on crude oil.
Crude oil prices received further pressure on oversupply concerns as the US EIA raised its forecast for the 2023 supply estimate by 300,000 bpd from the US.
