Crude Futures End the Month Soft

Just as Americans waistbands bulged over the holiday weekend so goes the production of oil.

The latest figures show there was no sign of a U.S. cut in oil production despite a steady drop in rig counts for the month of September.

Couple this with an anticipated higher OPEC output in November and a day that saw a stronger dollar and any bullish sentiment to start the week was quickly defused.

OPEC sees little need to trim back while there is market share to be had.

Benchmarks started the day off up but tailed off throughout the morning. Bunker prices were relatively stable in the primary ports.
