Global Demand <\/span><\/h2>\n

The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries are scheduled to meet on November 27 in Vienna as the 12-member group are expected to decide to cut global production to boost prices after crude futures fell to nearly 10% in October.<\/p>\n

A data from the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission revealed that money managers cut net-long positions in WTI by 2.3% in the week ended October 28.<\/p>\n

China\u2019s manufacturing gauge from the HSBC Holdings Plc and Markit Economics came in at 50.4 in October, slightly higher that September\u2019s final reading of 50.2. \u00a0A reading above 50 indicates expansion in manufacturing activity, while a reading below 50 represents contraction.<\/p>\n

China is expected to account for approximately 11% of the global oil consumption, while the US is projected to account for 21%, according to the International Energy Agency based in Paris.<\/p>\n
