The trading volume decreased by approximately 111,200 contracts, ending a two-day growth trend.


WTI crude oil continues to be supported near $78

WTI crude oil prices attempted a rebound on Thursday, but both open interest and trading volume showed a downward trend, suggesting that this market condition may not continue in the short term. Meanwhile, oil prices are still supported near $78, which is expected to temporarily prevent further decline.
