Crude oil prices are rising at rocket speed. On Monday, the price of crude oil in the international market had crossed $95. Even at present, the price of crude oil is very close to $ 95 per barrel. In fact, apart from the production cuts being made by Saudi Arabia and Russia, the prices are increasing due to decrease in production in American shale and increase in demand from China. Production in America has declined for the third consecutive month. Production is expected to peak after May. On the other hand, after Bank of America, Citibank has warned that crude oil prices may cross $ 100 per barrel this year.
If we talk about India, the prices of crude oil are increasing. The heartbeats of oil marketing companies are increasing. There is a reason for that too. While the government is planning to make petrol and diesel cheaper from the month of November, on the other hand, from the month of November, Indian oil companies are being estimated to incur losses per liter of petrol and diesel due to rising crude oil prices. In such a situation, this can be a big blow for the government and the common people. There has been no change in the prices of petrol and diesel in the country since May 2022. At that time the central government had reduced the excise duty on petrol and diesel. Due to which there was a decrease in the price of fuel. Let us also tell you what are the prices of crude oil at present.

Why did crude oil rise by more than one percent?
In fact, oil production is projected to decline for the third consecutive month in October. The US Energy Information Administration said in a monthly report that crude oil production in October is expected to fall to the lowest level since May 2023. On the other hand, Saudi Arabia and Russia have jointly extended the supply cut of 1.3 million barrels per day (bpd) this month till the end of the year.
