Oil prices stabilize on Tuesday morning and Brent at $92.08 per barrel
By Tuesday morning, November futures for Brent crude on
the London Futures Exchange in London cost $92.08 per barrel,
$0.08 higher than the previous session’s closing price.
As a result of Monday’s trading, these futures rose by $0.65 or 0.7 percent to $92 per barrel.

Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) by this time fell

Traders’ focus this week is on a number of central bank meetings globally,
including those of the Federal Reserve and the Bank of England.
Concern about the fact that the rapid tightening of monetary policy by
the world’s central banks will lead to a recession in the global economy,
and the decline in oil demand is one of the major factors
that has driven the oil market down in recent months.
In the meantime, the potential increase in market supply
could have a negative impact on oil prices,
as U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration announced it would sell
an additional 10 million barrels of oil from the strategic reserve.
Additionally, UAE National Oil Company ADNOC announced measures to increase
production to 5 million barrels of oil per day
by 2025 from 3.4 million barrels per day currently.
In the meantime, refineries in China have bid for an additional 15 million
tons of petroleum products as part of their export share,
which could increase the world’s fuel supply.

Asian markets rebound as Japan’s core inflation rises
Stocks in the Asia-Pacific region rose on Tuesday as inflation accelerated
in Japan and China kept the loan’s base interest rate unchanged,
and investors are also looking forward to a Federal Reserve meeting in the United States.
Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index rose by 1.33 percent and the Hang Seng tech index rose by 2.54 percent.
China’s Shanghai Composite Index rose by 0.46 percent and Shenzhen advanced by 0.87 percent.

Japan’s core inflation rate rose by 2.8 percent from a year ago,
the fastest increase since late 2014,
and China’s main loan interest rate remained unchanged on Tuesday,
in line with expectations.
Hong Kong tech stocks rose in Asia morning trading,
with Alibaba rising by 3.88 percent, and JD.com rising by 3.86 percent,
after Chief Executive John Lee said the government planned to

The Central Bank of Australia says the argument for boosting slower rate hikes,
as RBA board members argue, that slower rate hikes have become stronger,
according to minutes from the September 6 meeting,
where the interest rate was raised by 50 basis points to 2.25 percent.
In Tuesday’s minutes,
the Board expected interest rates to increase further in the coming months,
but was not on a predetermined track given uncertainties
surrounding inflation and growth expectations.
In Japan, government data showed Japan’s core consumer prices
rose by 2.8 percent in August compared to last year.
This is the fastest growth in nearly eight years,
and for the fifth consecutive month,
inflation exceeded the central bank’s target of 2 percent.
