Yasir Al-Rumayyan, chairman of Saudi Arabian Oil Co. (Aramco), speaks during a news conference in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, on Sunday, Nov. 3, 2019.
Crude oil futures rebounded slightly Wednesday but hovered near a four-month low as a decision by OPEC+ to increase production later this year continued to weigh on the market.
U.S. crude oil and global benchmark Brent are down more than 4% this week after eight OPEC+ members agreed Sunday to gradually phase out 2.2 million barrels per day in production cuts.
OPEC+ won't start increasing production until October, and the global oil balance sheet will tighten beforehand, Patterson said.
Here are today's energy prices:"The technicals also suggest that the oil market is entering oversold territory," Patterson told clients in a research note on Wednesday.
