OIL POSITIONING

Managed money net long positions in Brent and WTI gained further in the latest commitment of traders data released on Friday. Brent net longs are up to the highest since mid June. Net long positioning for ICE Gasoil and Nymex diesel remained relatively unchanged on the week. Uncertainty over global demand is weighing on the market but supply cuts from OPEC in Nov and Dec and Russian sanctions from early December are providing support.

  • Nymex WTI net longs increased by +16k to 198k.
  • ICE Brent net longs increased by +22k to 227k.
  • ICE Gasoil fell by -1k to 61k.
  • Nymex diesel increased by +1k to 25k.
  • Nymex gasoline fell by -2k to 53k.
