Summary: The US Energy Information Administration has raised its crude oil price forecast in anticipation of a global supply crunch. U.S. and European crude oil futures rebounded on the eve of President-elect Joe Biden's stimulus announcement, sending WTI to its highest level since February last year, while a surge in U.S. cases of novel coronavirus continued to curb gains. WTI and cloth oil hit a new high in the year, the daily K index is still a rising signal. The U.S. Energy Administration forecasts U.S. crude oil production to remain below 11.5 million barrels in 2021-22. Aftermarket resistance to the epidemic and changes in crude oil production are still the main factors affecting oil prices. Oil prices above $50 also face some volatility risk. Domestic chemical market easy to rise difficult to fall, downstream procurement rational.
