Traders said the price go lower despite the cuts were announced as the excess remains in place for a while, and as planned intervention may not be enough to bring production back to, or below, the consumption. Market skepticism stems from the fact that the production of OPEC are pursuing a new record this year with competition members such as Saudi Arabia, Iran and Iraq are reluctant to give market share.

As a result, OPEC oil production is likely to reach 33.60 million barrels per day in September from a revised 33.53 million bpd in August, the highest in history, a Reuters survey on Friday. Even so, the British bank said that it does not expect a repeat of the crisis have seen the end of last year after an earlier rally in 2015.

The US bank said the price factor is important to be seen in the coming weeks, including discussions on the production of the members of the non-OPEC, especially with Russia, production in OPEC as its members try to squeeze the oil before it is cut or frozen, hedging by producers to 2017 as a guide to future prices, and US inventories and import data.

"In a bullish market environment is enough to push prices higher," said Commerzbank, which also said Russia would attend a meeting next week in Istanbul producers as encouragement.

However, inventories near record highs and the prospect of even modest cuts in the production of the largest exporters of the world may not be enough to encourage a more sustainable rally, analysts said. Overall, analysts said the market was also supported at current levels, mainly due to the decline in production is proposed, announced last week by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).

Algerian Energy Minister Nouredine Bouterfa told local media on Thursday OPEC could cut output at a meeting in late November in Vienna with one another cent more than 700,000 barrels per day agreed in Algiers last month, if necessary.

To reach such an agreement, some of which such as Saudi Arabia and Iran are political rivals, OPEC officials begin a series of meetings in the next six weeks, starting in Istanbul this week.

However, analysts warned of too high expectations about the Istanbul talks this week. "A meeting between OPEC and producers-OPEC non (ie Russia) will add headlines oil this week. Do not expect a deal companies from Russia, but probably about cooperation, "said Morgan Stanley on Monday.

Even if an agreement is reached, analysts believe it will lead to higher prices, because of doubt running between members of rival, a Reuters poll showed on Friday. Field of hope, the second largest producer of OPEC Iraq said at the weekend that he wants to increase production further in 2017.

Traders said prices were also under pressure from the increase in the number of US refineries, implying that American manufacturers can increase production at a price of around $ 50 per barrel.

Crude oil prices further potentially weak with doubt planned production cut OPEC. However, with the weakening of US dollar by the weakening of US job data can help boost oil prices.

US crude oil futures price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil futures were at $ 51.28 a barrel, down 7 cents, or 14 percent of the final closure, but also near the site of Monday's $ 51.60 a barrel high. International benchmark price of Brent crude oil traded at $ 53.07 a barrel, down 7 cents, or 13 percent from the previous close, not far from the position Monday at $ 53.73 per barrel high.

 

Oil prices jumped as much as 3 percent on Monday, with Brent crude hitting a one-year high, after Russia said it was ready to join the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) in controlling the production of crude oil.

 

Germany Carsten Fritsch of Commerzbank said that "expectations of OPEC production cuts definitely played a role" in the latest price increase of the futures market, where a large volume of new long positions have been built as the market becomes more confident about rising oil prices.

 

But caution still audible tone in the market. Fritsch said he had "significant doubts whether the target reduction in production will be completely fulfilled" as competition among OPEC members, who fought aggressively for market share globally, could prevent an effective agreement.

 

Analyst estimates that crude oil prices could potentially further weakened by profit-taking after prices rose higher and the strengthening US dollar. But if the freezing of optimism sentiment strengthened OPEC production will raise the price back. Crude oil prices are expected to move in the range between $ 50,80- $ 50.30, and if the price rises will move in the range between $ 51,80- $ 52.30.

Crude oil prices fell on Thursday in the Asian session, pressured OPEC to increase production and an increase in US crude inventories. US crude oil futures price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) fell 54 cents, or 1.08 percent, at $ 49.64 per barrel. Brent traded at $ 51.37 a barrel fall around 44 cents, or 0.85 percent, from the previous close.

Traders said the oil market under pressure after the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) reported a rise in production, although the producer group have a plan, in cooperation with non-OPEC producer Russia to cut production in an effort to control global oversupply.

OPEC on Wednesday reported oil production rose in September to the highest level in at least eight years and raised its forecast for 2017 non-OPEC supply growth, pointing to a greater surplus next year despite the agreement of the group to cut production.

Meanwhile, the American Petroleum Institute (API), a trade group, reported on Wednesday that US crude oil inventories rose 2.7 million barrels to 470.9 million barrels in the week to October 7 this will be the first increase in oil inventories after five consecutive weeks of declines.

A stronger dollar makes it more expensive for countries that use other currencies in the country to import oil is traded in dollars, potentially depress demand. Tonight will be released weekly crude inventory data by the US EIA, which indicated increased. If realized, it will make the Oil price fall once again.

Analyst estimates that crude oil prices further potentially weak by global glut concerns after reports of increases in OPEC production and API reports to the increase in US inventories. Also if tonight realized EIA report for the increase in weekly US crude inventories, will further depress Oil prices. Crude oil prices are expected to move in the range of $ 49,10- $ 48.60 which are suppport, and if the price rises will move in the range of $ 50,10- $ 50.60 which are resistance.

Brent crude futures traded at $ 52.17 a barrel, up 14 cents, or 0.27 percent from its previous close.

 

"The price of oil rose overnight despite rising stockpiles in the US, because the supply of fuel in the US fell to its lowest level this year," said ANZ Bank in a note on Friday morning. Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported a decline of 3.7 million barrels for Thursday distillates, which include diesel and heating oil, and a drop of 1.9 million barrels for gasoline.

 

However, US crude inventories rose for the first time in six weeks, up 4.9 million barrels in the week to October 7 to 474 million barrels. Outside the United States, traders said that Brent prices were supported by technical indicators, which has attracted investment from financial market actors.

 

OPEC crude oil production stood at a record 33.6 million barrels per day in September PRODN-TOTAL. Analyst estimates that crude oil prices will weaken further helped by the strengthening US dollar. Crude oil prices are expected to move in the range of $ 50,30- $ 49.80 , and if the price rises will move in the range of $ 51,30- $ 51.80.

Crude oil prices fell on Monday (17/10) in the Asian session, pulled down by the increasing number of oil refineries in the United States, a strong US dollar and a record OPEC production that occurs in the middle of a global economic slowdown that could erode fuel demand.

 

US crude oil futures price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) traded at $ 50.20 a barrel, down 15 cents or 0.30 percent from the last position. Traders said that the WTI is pulled down by another rise in US oil drilling activity. Meanwhile, crude oil futures prices International benchmark Brent also fell 6 cents or 0.12 percent at $ 51.89 per barrel.

 

With oil is traded in dollars, a stronger dollar makes it more expensive for countries that use other currencies to buy fuel, potentially undermining demand. Brent was also pressured by fresh production records of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), which pumped out a record 33.6 million barrels of crude oil per day in September.

 

Despite the fall on Monday, analysts said that traders were cautious about the market moves further down, mainly because of plans by OPEC to cut production in an initiative to control the excess global production, which is currently looking at about half a million barrels of crude oil pumped every day over demand.

 

Analysts estimate that the price of crude oil at the next trade potentially pressured by a stronger dollar and fears of a glut of production. The price is expected to move within the range Support between $ 49.70 - $ 49.20, whereas if the price rises will move in the range Resistance between of $ 50,70- $ 51.20 .

In the middle of European trading session, crude oil prices experienced an increase from the previous trading both for Brent and WTI oil. Robust back in crude oil prices triggered by the depreciation of US dollar against many of its main rivals. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil rose 0.52 percent to $ 50.39 per barrel. While Brent crude oil futures were at $ 51.95 per barrel, up 43 cents, or 0.8 percent from its previous close.

 

In the past month crude oil prices managed to climb up a translucent back in the range of $ 50 per barrel by agreement of OPEC will cut crude oil production at their meeting in November. The meeting discussed the planned decrease in production of about 1 million barrels per day away from a record production of 33.6 million barrels per day.

 

Analyst estimates that the price of crude oil at the next trade is projected to rise by US dollar weakness. But if US inflation data is good this evening then it will strengthen US dollar and weighed on oil prices. Resistance is expected to move in the range of $ 50.70 - $ 51.20, whereas if the price drops will move in the range of $ 49,70- $ 49.20.
