Crude oil prices fell Monday on expectations of increasing supply, while the recent surge in energy costs and rising COVID-19 cases are expected to weigh on demand.<\/div>\n
\n
\nBrent crude futures fell 87 cents , or 1.1 per cent, to $81.30 a barrel, as at 1500 GMT while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude lost 80 cents, or 1.0 per cent, to $79.99 a barrel.<\/p>\n

Oil markets have ended each of the last three weeks lower than the previous one. However, Brent has only shed a total of 4.0 per cent in that time, as the market see-sawed between concerns about insufficient supply and worries that high prices will cool demand just as drillers ramp up activity.<\/p>\n

The strengthening dollar has also pressured oil prices, along with speculation that President Joe Biden\u2019s administration might release oil from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve.<\/p>\n

U.S. energy firms last week added oil and natural gas rigs for a third week in a row with crude prices hovering near a seven-year high, prompting some drillers to return to the wellpad.<\/p>\n

The oil and gas rig count, an early indicator of future output, rose by six to 556 in the week to Nov. 12, highest since April 2020, energy services firm Baker Hughes Co said on Friday. read more<\/p>\n

U.S. shale production in December is expected to reach prepandemic levels of 8.68 million barrels a day, according to Rystad Energy.<\/p>\n

At the same time, there are indications that demand may be slowing in due to heightened coronavirus cases and inflation.<\/p>\n

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) last week cut its world oil demand forecast for the fourth quarter by 330,000 barrels per day (bpd) from last month\u2019s forecast, as high energy prices hampered an economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. read more<\/p>\n

\u201cThe market now seems to be less concerned about the current supply tightness, expecting it to be short-lived,\u201d Rystad senior markets analyst Louise Dickson told Reuters. \u201cTraders are instead refocusing on the return of two bearish factors \u2013 the possibility of more oil supply sources and more Covid-19 cases.\u201d<\/p>\n
