Crude oil futures end marginally higher on Monday

03 Dec 2024 Evaluate

Crude oil futures end higher on Monday on possible supply disruptions due to rising tensions on the geopolitical front. However, oil's upside was just marginal, as investors awaited the upcoming meeting of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and their allies, collectively known as OPEC+, and some crucial economic data, including reports on U.S. private sector and non-farm payroll employment. The oil cartel, scheduled to meet on Thursday, is expected to decide whether to push back a plan to begin returning 2.2-million barrels per day of production cuts to the market with monthly additions of 180,000 bpd beginning in January.

Benchmark crude oil futures for January delivery added $0.10 or about 0.15 percent to settle at $68.10 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. However, Brent crude for February delivery lost $0.01 to settle at $71.83 a barrel on London's Intercontinental Exchange.
