Crude oil prices

Global oil markets are feeling jitters due to the uncertainties of the war between Israel and Hamas. Oil prices fell on Thursday, after climbing about 2 per cent to a two-week high on Wednesday, October 18, as OPEC showed no signs of supporting Iran's call for an oil embargo on Israel and as the United States plans to ease Venezuela sanctions to allow more oil to flow globally.

Brent futures for December fell 74 cents to $90.76 a barrel. US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) futures for November, which expires on Friday, dropped 57 cents to trade at $87.75 per barrel.

"Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East due to the raging war between Israel and Hamas spooked Indian markets as investors turned risk-off and hammered stocks at will. The market is more concerned about surging crude oil prices as this could hurt inflation and may lead to interest rates remaining higher in the near to medium term," said Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Research (Retail), Kotak Securities Ltd.

"As long as the index is trading below 19800, the weak sentiment is likely to continue and could slip till 19600-19575. On the flip side, a minor pullback rally is possible if the index surpasses the intraday resistance of 19720, and above the same, we could see one quick intraday rally till 19780," Chouhan said.
