Oil markets tensing ahead of rough 2019, WTI trapped near $45.00

Overstocked oil markets threatening to continue declines.

US supply glut has no end in sight as OPEC+ gears up for reduction.

Oil markets are plugged near familiar levels as investors brace for a volatile  2019, with bearish price pressures remaining a key hallmark of the energies market.

WTI US crude barrels continue to trade flat, though this week saw US crude costs sink to a yearly low of 42.15 before rebounding back into familiar levels to continue shuffling feet at common zones.

With the US remaining one of the worlds largest providers of crude out of the ground, and even OPEC+s’ promised 1.2 million barrel per day drawdown in oil production  may fall flat as global supplies, especially US reserves, continue to get jammed up with record numbers of US barrels waiting in the wongs.
