EU Session Analysis for CFD Instruments 17/01/2024
Fundamental analysis
17 January, 2024

Crude Oil Prices fell slightly on Wednesday as investors saw fundamentals weakening in the US but the ongoing naval and air conflicts in the Red Sea increased concerns of tankers having to reroute to avoid the area, increasing costs and the amount of time for deliveries.

Despite the less-than-expected economic growth, China’s oil refinery throughput in 2023 rose 9.3% from a year earlier to a record, indicating the country’s oil demand is elevated if not at the pace that some analysts are expecting.
