RoydadNaft – <\/a><\/span>\u00a0Oil prices edged down on Thursday, retreating from the previous session’s seven-week high, as some investors took profits after U.S. stocks closed lower and in anticipation of slower winter demand as well as the return of Kurdish supplies.<\/p>\n

Brent futures were down 49 cents, or 0.7%, to $68.82 a barrel at 0825 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate futures were down 54 cents, or 0.8%, to $64.45 a barrel.<\/p>\n

Both benchmarks gained 2.5% on Wednesday to reach their highest since August 1, driven by a surprise drop in U.S. weekly crude inventories and concerns that Ukraine’s attacks on Russia’s energy infrastructure could disrupt supplies.<\/p>\n

“We have a generally risk-off market,” said Giovanni Staunovo, commodity analyst at UBS. Two consecutive down days for U.S. stocks are putting pressure on oil prices, he added.<\/p>\n

Bearish expectations on supply fundamentals, with more oil expected soon from Iraq and Kurdistan, weighed further.<\/p>\n

“The return of Kurdish supplies adds back fears of an oversupply narrative, propelling a pullback in prices that hover near a seven-week high,” said Priyanka Sachdeva, senior market analyst at Phillip Nova.<\/p>\n

Oil flows from Iraqi Kurdistan were expected to restart in days after eight oil firms struck a deal on Wednesday with Iraq’s federal and Kurdish regional governments to resume exports.<\/p>\n

While some market concerns remain on Russian supply disruptions, Haitong Securities said in a report that another factor behind oil’s resilience was the lack of significant downward pressure from supply\u2013demand fundamentals in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

As the peak demand season gradually ends, prices have yet to reflect expectations of mounting oversupply pressures, it added.<\/p>\n

Underscoring investor cautiousness on demand, J.P. Morgan analysts said on Wednesday that U.S. air passenger throughput for September indicated only a modest annual increase of 0.2%, a slowdown from growth of 1% in each of the two prior months.<\/p>\n

“Likewise, U.S. gasoline demand has started to pull back, mirroring the broader moderation in travel trends,” the analysts said in a report.<\/p>\n
