The WTI crude market breached the $100 level for the first time since May 21<sup>st<\/sup> following the news that Iran-aligned Houthis seized control of Yemen\u2019s port of Mocha on Thursday, increasing a threat to oil flows through the Red Sea as they gain further leverage over the Bab el-Mandab Strait. The crude market posted a low of $95.37 in overnight trading before it continued on its upward trend and extended its gains to over $7.01 as it posted a high of $103.06 ahead of the close. The October WTI contract settled up $6.43 at $102.48 and later continued to trade higher, posting a new high of $103.12 in the post settlement period. The November Brent contract settled up $6.42 at $107.63. Meanwhile, the product markets were well supported, with heating oil market settling up 25.65 cents at $5.0575 and the RB market settling up 18.26 cents at $3.3932.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Technical Analysis<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong>&nbsp; The crude market will remain well supported as the conflict in the Middle East continues to intensify. The war is expected to last longer than previously expected, with U.S. President Donald Trump stating that the war would likely last beyond the November midterm elections. President Trump also warned that the U.S. may hit Iran\u2019s Pickaxe Mountain, which is located near Iran\u2019s Natanz uranium enrichment facility. The market is seen finding resistance at $103.13, $104.45 to $106.76, $109.24, $109.47 and $110.93. Meanwhile, support is seen at $95.37, $93.76, $92.77, $90.87, $90.26, $88.72 and $87.75.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fundamental News<\/strong>:&nbsp; OPEC lowered its forecast for world oil demand growth in 2026 to 380,000 bpd, marking the fifth consecutive downward revision. It is down from a previous estimate of 580,000 bpd. It however raised its 2027 global oil demand growth forecast to 2.36 million bpd from a previous estimate of 2.16 million bpd. OPEC said OPEC+ crude output, including former member UAE, averaged 38.05 million bpd in August, up about 300,000 bpd on the month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bloomberg reported that while oil prices have rallied once again over $100\/barrel, China\u2019s demand may not decline as it previously did. It reported that China\u2019s refiners returned to the global oil market and are processing greater volumes of crude and buying cargoes everywhere from Russia to Argentina, undeterred by increasing premiums for some grades. It said Beijing may not be able to restrain prices by disappearing from the market a second time. The refiners that cut their run rates and drew down inventories earlier in the year are not able to do so indefinitely. Bloomberg also noted that it is unclear whether Chinese authorities would be willing to reimpose curbs on fuel exports, which previously played such a big role in reducing the country\u2019s crude imports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OPEC\u2019s oil output fell in August, as Saudi exports faced new disruption due to the war in Iran and a U.S. blockade cut Iran&#8217;s shipments. According to Reuters, OPEC\u2019s crude production fell by 640,000 bpd month-on-month to 19.71 million bpd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Preliminary shiptracking data showed vessel transits at the Strait of Hormuz fell slightly on Wednesday to seven, compared with the previous day&#8217;s 12, with levels also lower than the 10-day average of 14. Out of these seven, four vessels exited and three entered. Of the exits, one was a very large crude carrier called Finland Prosperity, carrying nearly 2 million barrels of crude. At the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, some 28 commodity ships transited on Wednesday, a level similar to the 10-day average of 27. Of the total, 16 ships entered and 12 exited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to price tracker GasBuddy, the U.S. national average price of diesel surpassed $6\/gallon for the first time ever on Thursday, as the U.S.-Iran war and Ukrainian attacks on Russia\u2019s refineries have squeezed supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Early<\/strong><strong> Market Call &#8211; as of 8:45 AM EDT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>WTI &#8211; Oct $99.75, down $2.73<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>RBOB &#8211; Oct $3.2427, down 5.05 cents\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>HO &#8211; Oct $5.0589, up 14 points<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recap:&nbsp; The oil market surged higher on Thursday amid the intensifying conflict in the Middle East.
