There was no settlement of WTI contracts on Thursday due to the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States and trading volumes remained low “Because volume is thin after the holiday, we gave up some of the gains here to some extent,” said Phil Flynn, analyst at Price Futures Group
Both contracts recorded their third consecutive weekly decline, after reaching their lowest levels in ten months last week. Brent ended the week down 4.6%, while WTI fell 4.7%

If we do see an announced government by the 9th then January 1st 2023 has great potential for what we’ve been waiting for…
