據3月18日FXstreet報道，芝加哥商品交易所集團(CME Group)公布的原油期貨市場數據顯示，周三，未平倉合約連續第三個交易日減少，縮減了約3.48萬份。相反，成交量連續第三個交易日上升，目前約為18.14萬份合約。

值得一提的是，WTI面臨每桶59.00美元附近的下一個支撐位。

原油價格繼續走低。然而，周三的下跌是在未平倉合約減少的背景下發生的，這暗示著WTI價格繼續下跌的壓力可能會消失。在每桶59.00美元關口附近的月度低點應該是目前的初步爭論焦點。

Crude Oil Futures: Downside losing momentum?

CME Group’s flash figures for Crude Oil futures markets noted open interest shrunk for the third straight session on Wednesday, this time by around 34.8K contracts. Volume, instead, rose for the third consecutive session, now by around 181.4K contracts.

WTI faces the next support near $59.00

Crude oil prices continued to correct lower. However, Wednesday’s downtick was on the back of shrinking open interest, hinting at the idea that a deeper pullback in WTI could be running out of steam. Against this, the monthly lows in the vicinity of the $59.00 mark per barrel should offer initial contention for the time being.
