Crude oil futures dropped in Monday’s trading along with energy stocks

 

Crude oil futures and Oklahoma energy stocks walked hand in hand into the loss column in Monday’s trading.

West Texas Intermediate crude for January delivery fell 19 cents or 0.4% in trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange and finally settled Monday at $45.34 a barrel. The slide came on the last day of November, a month where WTI saw a gain of nearly 27%.

Global benchmark Brent Crude suffered a loss of 37 cents per barrel or 0.8% and dropped to $47.88 on ICE Futures Europe. The front month January Brent crude expired at the end of the day’s trading session and lost 59 cents or 1.2% at $47.59 a barrel. Still, Brent crude managed to see a 27% improvement in November.

Much of the drop in crude futures came as investors waited on a decision from OPEC about possibly extending its crude production restrictions into 2021. Members met Monday and it was reported that a general agreement was reached to extend existing oil production cuts of 7.7 million barrels a day by another three months beginning in January.
