Crude oil price

Oil prices were almost at the same level during the early trade on Thursday as the market weighed mixed drivers, eyeing tensions in the Middle East while digesting a rise in US crude stockpiles. Around 6 am on Thursday, WTI crude was being sold at $ 85.54 per barrel. Brent crude was trading at $90.28 per barrel at 6 AM on Thursday.

In September, the import of crude oil by India touched a 12-month low of 17.80 million tonnes (MT) mainly due to lower requirement due to autumn refinery maintenance and lower consumption during monsoons.

According to the Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell (PPAC), crude oil imports on a provisional basis declined by 5 per cent month on month, but were higher by 6 per cent on an annual basis. According to Vortexa, India bought around 4.196 million barrels per day (mb/d) of crude oil, which is the lowest in FY24.

Earlier, OPEC monthly oil market report had highlighted that India’s crude imports are expected to be lower in September due to the monsoon season slashing domestic needs, before picking up again in October ahead of the festive season.
