Crude-oil futures settled firmly higher Thursday (Dec 22), bouncing back after slumping a day earlier on reports of a surprise buildup in U.S. inventories. Traders and analysts said a strong report on U.S. GDP and a larger-than-expected drawdown of natural-gas supplies helped to revive sentiment that domestic appetite for #crude products may be able to sop up supplies in tandem with an agreement by the #OPEC to curb global production. #WestTexasIntermediate crude for delivery in February picked up 46 cents, or 0.9%, to settle at $52.95 a barrel. Meanwhile, February #Brent crude on Londonโs ICE Futures exchange added 59 cents, or 1.1%, to close at $55.05 a barrel.
#Oil prices went on a wild ride in 2016. Prices swirled downward to start the year over fears that the world's growing oil stockpiles would fill to the brim. #Crude crashed all the way into the mid-$20s in early February before rallying past $50 per barrel by the end of the year due to improving market fundamentals. That recovery could continue in 2017 thanks to #OPEC's decision to support prices by trimming production.
However, investors should not expect a smooth ride given that there are plenty of things that could cause quite a bit of volatility in 2017. Overall, the consensus seems to be that crude will remain in the mid-$50s in 2017. Incidentally, that is similar to what analysts had forecast for oil prices in 2016. Given recent history, the odds of a quiet crude market next year appear slim.
