December WTI Crude Oil futures have been up in three of the last four sessions, flirting with the 50-day moving average. The market closed higher at $60.60, above the 50-day moving average. The upcoming EIA inventory report could be critical for the next price move in WTI Crude Oil futures, especially following last week's crude inventory rise of 6.4 million barrels. A large crude build with flat refinery utilization may suggest oversupply, while a crude draw could indicate tightening supplies and stronger demand. Refinery utilization, a key indicator of real-time demand, has been uncharacteristically weak. Analysts are predicting potential oversupply in the market next year, with surpluses projected around 2 million barrels per day.
