This is your Daily Crude Oil Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.

Hey everyone, welcome back to Daily Crude Oil Price Tracker. I'm Vanessa Clark, and I'm so glad you're here with me today. We've got some really interesting developments happening in the oil markets right now, so let's dive right in.

As of today, Monday, December first, twenty twenty-five, we're seeing some positive movement in crude oil prices. Brent crude is trading at around sixty-three dollars and fifty cents per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate, or WTI as we call it, is hovering near fifty-nine dollars and seventy cents per barrel. Both benchmarks are up roughly one to two percent from recent sessions, which is a modest but meaningful climb.

So what's driving this increase? The big news comes from OPEC Plus, the organization of oil-producing countries. They made an important decision to pause production increases for the first quarter of twenty twenty-six. Basically, they're holding steady on how much oil they're pumping into the market. They initially announced this pause back in early October, and just this past Sunday they reaffirmed their commitment to it through March twenty twenty-six. For the oil markets, this signals stability and gives traders confidence that we're not about to see a flood of new supply hitting the market.

Now, it's not all smooth sailing. There are some headwinds we need to talk about. Geopolitical tensions are creating what we call a risk premium in the market. There's also ongoing discussions about a potential Russia-Ukraine peace deal, which could eventually lead to the lifting of sanctions on Russian oil. If that happens, we could see additional barrels entering a market that's already dealing with oversupply concerns.

Looking at the bigger picture, oil is actually down about twelve percent compared to the same time last year, and we're heading toward a fourth consecutive monthly loss. That's the longest streak of monthly declines we've seen in more than two years. Forecasts suggest we could be facing a global supply surplus next year, which puts a ceiling on how high prices can realistically climb.

For those of you importing oil or working in fuel-dependent industries, current prices around the sixty to sixty-five dollar range represent a moderate middle ground. It's not bargain basement cheap, but it's not dramatically expensive either, which should help cushion cost pressures for now.

Thanks so much for listening to Daily Crude Oil Price Tracker. Make sure you subscribe and tune in tomorrow for another update on what's moving the markets. I'm Vanessa Clark, and I'll see you next time.
