January WTI crude oil (CLF24) on Wednesday closed down -2.94 (-4.07%), and Jan RBOB gasoline (RBF24) closed down -0.0801 (-3.80%).
Crude oil and gasoline prices on Wednesday sold off sharply, with crude falling to a 5-month low and gasoline tumbling to a 1-year low. Concern about excess global crude supplies is weighing on prices. Also, doubts about whether OPEC+ crude production cuts will be adhered to are bearish for prices. Crude prices fell Wednesday despite a larger-than-expected draw in weekly EIA crude inventories, as gasoline and distillate supplies rose more than expected.
