United States Brent Oil Fund Shares Are Trading Lower Today: What You Need To Know
Oct 11, 2024 12:01 AM

The United States Brent Oil Fund Inc. is down Tuesday, reflecting a broader decrease in oil prices. This decline follows a recent rise in oil prices driven by Middle East tensions. Traders are also reassessing the demand outlook as uncertainty over China’s economic stimulus adds to the mix.

What To Know: Recent increases in oil prices were linked to concerns about potential disruptions in the global oil supply due to escalating conflict in the Middle East, particularly between Israel and Iran. Last week, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude reached $77 per barrel, marking five consecutive sessions of gains.

However, oil prices are now lower as the situation in the Middle East stabilizes somewhat and expectations for aggressive economic stimulus measures from China have not been met. The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) announced limited support, focusing on a 100 billion yuan budget for 2025 and infrastructure projects. This fell short of market expectations, which anticipated more aggressive fiscal initiatives, including substantial bond issuances and measures to stimulate domestic consumption.

The disappointment in Beijing's restrained approach led to a significant sell-off in Chinese markets. The Hang Seng Index plunged over 9%, marking its worst single-day loss since October 2008. Investors, previously buoyed by China’s year-to-date rally, rushed to lock in profits as hopes for bold stimulus measures faded. Mainland China's Shanghai Composite Index also saw volatility, despite closing 4.6% higher.

In the wider market, U.S. equities are down, with the S&P 500 decreasing by 0.5%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average down by 0.7% and the Nasdaq 100 declining 0.5%. Rising Treasury yields, with the 10-year yield surpassing 4%, are also influencing market movements.

BNO Price Action: United States Brent Oil Fund Shares were down by 4.90% at $30.44 at the time of writing, according to Benzinga Pro.
