Oil Prices Slip as Markets Rally to Shorts Amid Macro Fragility
Oil falls ~0.
On 5 November 2025, Brent crude futures fell about 0.56% to US$64.08/bbl and U.S. WTI dropped roughly 0.66% to US$60.16, as risk-off sentiment gripped global markets. Investors reacted to a stronger U.S. dollar and a surprise 6.52 million-barrel increase in U.S. crude stocks for the week ended Oct 31, which raised demand concerns. Combined with warnings of stretched equity valuations and broader macro-fragility, oil lost support despite a modest production increase of 137,000 bpd by the OPEC Plus group in December being forecast. The complex interplay of commodity flows, currency strength and equity risk weighed on crude today.
