Vaccines detonated oil prices, futures soared by more than 4%, OPEC+ plans to cut production, the market outlook is promising (with trading strategy)
The vaccine news is ready, and oil prices closed up more than 2% on Monday. The settlement price of Brent crude oil futures in January rose by US$1.04 to US$43.82 per barrel, an increase of 2.43%, and the increase was more than 4% earlier in the session. December US crude oil futures rose $1.21 to $41.34 per barrel, an increase of 3%.


"There was excessive buying pressure during the session, which pushed the oil market above the level supported by fundamentals, and then fell back and held some gains," said Gary Cunningham, head of market research at Tradition Energy.
Moderna said that its new crown vaccine is 94.5% effective. Vaccine news, coupled with market expectations that OPEC+ will maintain low production next year to support oil prices, caused the US and Brent crude oil to rise by more than 8% last week.
OPEC+’s current production reduction scale is about 7.7 million barrels per day, and the implementation rate of the October production reduction agreement is expected to be 96%. Its current plan is to increase production by 2 million barrels per day from January. However, according to sources, the second wave of the epidemic prompted OPEC+ to decide to postpone its production increase plan for at least three months to support oil prices.
In addition, the rebound in economic data from China and Japan also supported oil prices. The data also showed that China's average oil refinery processing volume in October hit a record high.
