Similar to the rapid rise in May this year, the crude oil demand from June to August was expected to be better, but the increase slowed down, until a sharp correction appeared in early September. On the whole, crude oil is the cheapest of all the assets of inflation. Next year, with the demand driven by the superposition of replenishment cycle and investment cycle, the focus of oil price will move up, and it is a relatively better strategy to buy whenever there is a sharp correction. 1.

Last week, the net import of US crude oil increased sharply and the net import of crude oil decreased by 1.848 million barrels / day in this period, which was the main reason for crude oil going to storage and the operating rate of refineries decreased. 2. US congressional leaders are understood to be close to reaching an agreement on a bail-out bill of less than $900 billion.
