Brent crude has dropped below $90 per barrel for the first time since August. The source attributes the decline to reduced concerns over Middle East supply disruptions and higher output from key producers. Market pricing now shows lower odds of crude reaching a new all-time high.
Brent crude dipped below $90 per barrel for the first time since August, according to a report from @FirstSquawk. The move reverses course from a recent peak.
The price now sits under the $118 per barrel high seen at the end of October. The drop is attributed to fewer worries about supply disruptions in the Middle East and increased production from countries such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Iraq.
As a result, traders see a lower chance of a record. Prediction market contracts on crude oil reaching an all-time high price a 5.5% chance by December 31 and 17% by April 1 2027.
However, market participants will closely monitor Middle East developments that could affect supply, along with the production strategies of OPEC and Saudi Arabia's Energy Minister Abdulaziz bin Salman Al Saud.
