Oil rises slightly, Brent at $90.8 per barrel

Benchmark oil gains slightly on Wednesday morning after dropping to two-week lows the day before as the dollar strengthened ahead of a series of central bank meetings.
The cost of November futures for Brent crude on the London ICE Futures exchange by 8:13 CST on Wednesday is $90.84 per barrel, which is $0.22 (0.24%) higher than the closing price of the previous session. As a result of trading on Tuesday, these contracts fell by $1.38 (1.5%) to $90.62 per barrel.
The price of futures for WTI oil for November in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) is $84.09 per barrel by this time, which is $0.15 (0.18%) higher than the final value of the previous session. By the close of the market the day before, the value of these contracts fell by $1.42 (1.7%) to $83.94 per barrel.
“A strong dollar, rising bond yields and concerns about demand amid a global economic slowdown are putting pressure on oil prices again,” said Michael Hewson, senior market analyst at CMC Markets UK. “The market is expecting rate hikes this week from the Fed, the Bank of England and Swiss National Bank”.
“Worry about the lack of supply does not provide the support for quotes, which could be expected, but it also means that we will not see a strong collapse either,” the expert added.
The Fed meeting will end on Wednesday evening, and analysts generally believe that as a result of it, the key interest rate in the United States will be increased by at least 75 basis points.
Meanwhile, data from the American Petroleum Institute (API) indicated that U.S. oil inventories rose 1 million barrels last week after rising 6 million barrels a week earlier. The official inventory report from the US Department of Energy will be released at 17:30 CST.

The production of beer in Ukraine (except for non-alcoholic beer with an alcohol content of up to 0.5%) in January-August 2022 decreased by 31.6% compared to the same period in 2021, to 83.9 million decalitres, according to Ukrpyvo.
At the same time, it is indicated that a gradual recovery in the industry is recorded after a 50% drop in the production of this drink in the first quarter due to the Russian invasion and the shutdown of some of the country’s breweries. Thus, according to the results of the first four months of this year, the fall was 42.8% compared to the same period last year, January-May – 36.4%, January-June – 32%, January-July and January-August – 31.6%.
According to Ukrpyvo, the restoration of malt production is recorded.

Oil prices are almost unchanged, Brent – $92.08 per barrel

Oil prices almost do not change on Tuesday after the end of trading on the previous day with growth.
The cost of November futures for Brent crude on the London ICE Futures exchange by 8:30 am UTC is $92.08 per barrel, which is $0.08 (0.09%) higher than the closing price of the previous session. As a result of trading on Monday, these contracts rose by $0.65 (0.7%) to $92 per barrel.
The price of futures for WTI oil for October in the electronic trading of the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) fell by this time by $0.06 (0.07%), to $85.30 per barrel. By the close of the market on Monday, the value of these contracts increased by $0.6 to $85.36 per barrel.
The focus of traders this week is a number of meetings of the central banks in the world, including meetings of the Fed and the Bank of England. Fears related to the fact that the rapid tightening of monetary policy by the world’s central banks will lead to a recession in the global economy and a drop in oil demand are one of the key factors pushing down the oil market in recent months.
Meanwhile, a potential increase in supply in the market may also have a negative impact on oil prices. The administration of US President Joe Biden has announced that it will sell an additional 10 million barrels of oil from the strategic reserve, writes Bloomberg.
In addition, the UAE national oil company Adnoc announced measures to increase production to 5 million barrels of oil per day by 2025 from the current 3.4 million barrels per day.
Meanwhile, refineries in China have submitted bids to supply an additional 15 million tons of petroleum products as part of the export quota, which could increase the supply of fuel in the world.
