Crude oil futures end higher on Monday

30 Nov 2021 Evaluate

Crude oil futures ended higher on Monday as traders bet that Friday’s sharp sell-off, prompted by fears that the new omicron Covid variant will curb demand for petroleum products, was overdone. Meanwhile, traders looked ahead to some meetings of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries. However, oil prices plunged on Friday, weighed down by news about the detection of a new variant - Omicron - in South Africa last week and subsequent news about several countries, including the US, imposing fresh travel restrictions.

Benchmark crude oil futures for January delivery rose $1.80 or 2.6 percent to settle at $69.95 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent crude for January delivery gained $1.00 or 1.4 percent to settle at $72.59 a barrel on London's Intercontinental Exchange.
