Crude Oil Fundamental Analysis October 19, 2012 Forecast
Analysis and Recommendations:
Crude Oil dipped to trade at 91.44 after China reported GDP at 7.4% although it met with expectations, it shows a continued slowdown in the sleepy giant. Global growth continues to decline, while production continues to escalate. The EIA reported yesterday, a larger than expected increase in supply and the IEA once again reduced its 2012 forecast.
Despite the positive US housing figures, world oil prices fell as traders reacted to a far bigger-than-expected surge in crude inventories in top global consumer the United States.
