Crude oil prices traded cautiously this week, with negative fundamentals outweighing short-term risk factors. While geopolitical tensions and the end of the US government shutdown provided some brief comfort, the market remained focused on rising global stockpiles, shifting supply-demand projections from OPEC and the IEA, and the widespread belief that supply continues to outstrip demand. The most immediate bearish catalyst came from U.S. stockpile data. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported a massive 6.4 million barrel build in domestic crude inventories for the week ending November 7, far exceeding analyst expectations of a 1.96 million barrel increase. The American Petroleum Institute (API) had earlier flagged a 1.3 million barrel build, but the EIA’s number confirmed growing concerns about a supply glut.
