Oil Rig Fear Might Be Looming over Oil Prices

Last week, the oil rig count rose by two to 888, the highest level since March 6, 2015. The rig count tends to follow US crude oil prices with a three-month to six-month lag. In February 2016, US crude oil prices fell to the lowest closing level in 12 years. Between February 11, 2016, and November 19, 2018, US crude oil active futures rose 116.6%.
