Crude oil

Oil prices fell in early Asian trade on Thursday on weaker-than-expected Chinese manufacturing data, but investors maintained caution ahead of an OPEC+ meeting where production cuts are expected, Reuters reported.

Brent crude futures fell 28 cents, or 0.3%, to $82.90 a barrel by 0024 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures fell 24 cents, or 0.3%, to $77.68 a barrel.

China's manufacturing activity contracted for a second straight month in November and at a quicker pace than expected, an official factory survey showed on Thursday, suggesting more policy support measures are needed to help shore up economic growth in the world's largest oil importer.

"We expect crude oil prices to remain volatile this week amid volatility in the dollar index and OPEC+ meetings. Crude oil is having support at $76.85–76.10 and resistance is at $78.50-79.20 today’s session. In INR crude oil has support at Rs 6,390-6,320 while resistance is at Rs 6,580-6,640," said Rahul Kalantri, VP Commodities, Mehta Equities Ltd.
