WTI and Brent crude oil closed sharply higher last week mostly in reaction to a bullish report from the International Energy Agency . The data in the weekly EIA inventories report is still irregular because of Hurricane Harvey and the number of oil rigs dropped last week.

November WTI crude oil closed the week at $50.44, up $2.38 or +4.95% and December Brent crude oil closed at $55.42, up $1.84 or +3.43%.
