U.S. distillate inventories fell below 100 million barrels, hitting a new low since 2003, Bloomberg reports. Against this background, world oil prices stabilized after a drop of almost 8% the day before: Brent futures are trading around $95 per barrel, WTI - around $88. The pressure on the quotations is exerted by the victory of the Democrats in the mid-term elections for the US Congress, which according to the expectations of the investors may hasten the end of the conflict in the Middle East.
