Crude Prices Soft Ahead of Friday Oil Deal Meeting
Tuesday September 19, 2017
The market is expecting crude stocks to rise by almost 3 million barrels when the report is released tomorrow.
This sent benchmarks lower today as traders positioned themselves ahead of the move.
However, there is some hope in the market as a meeting is set for Friday between OPEC and non-OPEC members regarding the progress of the supply cut deal.
Bunker prices were somewhat softer in the primary ports.
