WTI Oil Ends at Lowest Since Aug. 30 - WSJ

Updated Oct. 5, 2023 2:47 pm ET

1440 ET – US crude futures fall 2.3% to finish at a five-week-low $82.31 a barrel and have now fallen by 7.8% over the past two trading days, one of the largest two-day declines of the year. Brent crude also falls again, ending at around $84. “This oil market reversal must be frustrating the Saudis,” says Edward Moya at Oanda, in a note. “Brent crude has fallen over $10 since the end of last month as surging global bond yields have crippled the global growth outlook.” Moya says it’s hard to estimate where prices could find support, but adds that “If China’s outlook continues to improve, we could easily see a return back to the $90 level.” ( dan.molinski@wsj.com)
