Open the calendar

The main things that move the price

OPEC+

The group's members agree how much oil to pump. News of a cut or a rise in output can change the mood of the market at once.

US stockpiles

Every Wednesday the EIA publishes oil stockpiles, and on Friday Baker Hughes publishes the rig count. Stockpiles above forecast usually weigh on the price.

Demand and geopolitics

Figures from China and the US show how much oil the world needs. Conflicts in producing countries and on sea routes add risk to the price.

When it is most active

New York hours matter most, the EIA report on Wednesdays above all. News from OPEC+ and geopolitics can arrive at any moment.

Major releases ahead

The next high-impact releases over two weeks. What each means for the market is on its card.
