    Oil Steadies After 6% Plunge With Focus on Mideast Risk, US Data

    Yongchang Chin Mon, Oct 28, 2024, 7:28 PM 1 min read

    (Bloomberg) — Oil steadied after tumbling 6% on Monday, the biggest decline in more than two years, as the market focused on the prospect for easing hostilities in the Middle East and upcoming US economic data.

    Brent was higher near $72 a barrel and West Texas Intermediate was just below $68. Israel signaled it was open to a short truce in Gaza in exchange for the release of a small number of hostages, following a retaliatory strike on Iran over the weekend that spared the OPEC producer’s oil infrastructure.

    The deep plunge on Monday comes ahead of a crucial few weeks for oil prices, with the US election looming and the OPEC+ alliance planning to start gradually reviving production in December.

    The latest developments in the Middle East have unwound a war premium for oil and put the market’s weak fundamentals back into the spotlight — notably poor Chinese demand growth and plentiful supply. Traders will be watching a slew of economic data from the US this week, including on growth and employment, which will give clues on the path forward for monetary policy.

    In a sign that risk is fading across the board, the premium of bullish oil call options over the opposite puts has narrowed significantly. A gauge of implied volatility for Brent also fell to the lowest in a month.
