Could be a few things, maybe some of the recent Fed comments about interest rates, or the ongoing concerns about global demand slowing down. What do you guys think?
It's interesting to see such a significant drop today after the recent gains. I wonder if it's mostly profit-taking, or if there's a specific catalyst like news from the inventory reports or a change in demand outlook. What are others seeing as the primary driver?
It looks like the EIA reported a build in crude inventories of 5.976M barrels this week, which is significantly higher than the expected build. That's likely putting downward pressure on prices.
