LONDON, Jan 28 (Reuters) - U.S. crude oil futures steadied near two-month lows around $86 per barrel on Friday after talk of OPEC raising output to cool prices, while robust demand in Europe and Asia bolstered North Sea Brent.

The head of Kuwait Petroleum Corp said on Thursday OPEC might need to boost output as high oil prices threatened the global economy. [ID:nN27280337]

Farouk al-Zanki, head of Kuwait Petroleum Corp, told Reuters at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, he was concerned high oil prices might contribute to the start of another global downturn as they did in 2008. Kuwait is the fifth largest producer in OPEC. [ID:nLDE70Q1KN]

"The first signs are emerging that OPEC is responding, with a thinly veiled call for an emergency OPEC meeting by a Kuwaiti official and indications others are unilaterally raising output," JPMorgan analysts led by Lawrence Eagles said.

OPEC's next meeting is scheduled for June.

My chart shows price at that level around 4:40 PST and your post was about 30 mins later, that's why I wondered how you got that price.
 
I agree with this , lots of big funds who look contract to contract trading must have shorted at the begining and be on beach watching all this drop


Quote from NoDoji:

The current contract started trading actively on 1/18. Everybody who shorted it between then and right this minute is profitable. Everybody. So shorts have no reason to buy right now.

Nobody who went long between then and right this minute is profitable.

There's really no incentive for anyone to buy right now, because the fundamentals are weak and technically we are in no man's land between here and 84.50 (11/30 support and 11/19 resistance).
