SHANGHAI, Oct. 26 (SMM) –Market will eye US crude oil stocks and September new home sales today.
US housing starts, existing home sales and new home sales all fell in August. Housing starts fell to the lowest in one year and a half in September, which will tighten house inventories and allow home prices to extend gains, thus dampening new home sales.
US crude oil stocks fell sharply last week, mainly because the US cut imports. The API’s US crude oil stocks, released this morning, rose significantly, sending crude oil prices down. But, the downside room for crude oil prices was limited due to falling crude oil stocks in Cushing.
