Rahul Kalantri, VP Commodities, Mehta Equities on Stock Market today:

Crude oil experienced significant volatility, extending its decline to reach 7-month lows in the international markets. This downward trend was fueled by concerns about demand from China and the surge in U.S. oil production to record levels. According to the U.S. EIA, U.S. crude oil production is expected to increase by 180,000 barrels per day, reaching 13.11 million barrels per day in 2024. The heightened production levels in the U.S. alleviated the pressure on output cuts implemented by the OPEC+ nations. Also, the U.S. EIA revised its price forecast for 2024, reducing it by $10 per barrel to an average Brent price of $83 per barrel.

Anticipating ongoing volatility, we project that crude oil prices will remain unpredictable in today’s session. The support levels for crude oil are estimated at $68.05–67.40, with resistance levels at $69.60-70.40 for today’s session. In Indian Rupees (INR), crude oil finds support at Rs 5,650-5,570 and resistance at Rs 5,790-5,880.
