Crude oil futures fell sharply on Nov. 19 as new COVID-19 lockdowns in Europe and a stronger US dollar weighed on the market.
NYMEX December WTI settled down $2.91 at $76.10/b and ICE January Brent settled at $78.89/b. Austria announced a nationwide lockdown starting Nov.
22, and Germany tightened restrictions for unvaccinated citizens.
Lockdowns cut fuel demand expectations and a stronger dollar makes dollar-priced commodities more expensive abroad, both bearish for energy and energy-linked feed costs such as biofuel-driven soybean oil and corn ethanol margins.
