Oil Falls Amid Oversupply Prospects — Market Talk

Dow Jones Newswires

Oil falls in the morning Asian session amid oversupply prospects. "Demand usually weakens in the first quarter, which is why the oil market is likely to show a considerable oversupply already at the beginning of 2026," Commerzbank Research's Carsten Fritsch says in a note. Without sanctions-related shortfalls, the oil market is likely to be oversupplied in the coming year, the commodity analyst says. Also, there appear to be mixed signals about oil demand currently, Fritsch adds. Front-month WTI crude oil futures are 0.5% lower at $60.27/bbl; front-month Brent crude oil futures are 0.4% lower at $64.19/bbl. (ronnie.harui@wsj.com)
