By the close of trading, the price of light crude oil futures for November delivery on the New York Mercantile Exchange edged up by $0.01, settling at $89.44 per barrel, a gain of 0.01%. Brent crude oil futures for December delivery in London rose by $0.26 to close at $100.58 per barrel, an increase of 0.26%. In recent times, international oil prices have remained volatile. Multiple supply and demand factors continue to support oil prices: on one hand, production cuts by oil-producing countries are tightening market supply; on the other hand, fluctuations in expectations for global economic recovery create uncertainty on the demand side for crude oil. The future path of oil prices will continue to be influenced jointly by geopolitical developments, major economies' energy policies, and other factors.
