Portfolio investors sold petroleum heavily for the third week running as fears about disruption to crude oil flows from the price cap on Russia’s exports receded.

Hedge funds and other money managers sold the equivalent of 42 million barrels in the six most important oil-related futures and options contracts over the seven days ending on Nov. 29.

In the latest week, sales were again concentrated in crude , especially Brent , with only insignificant changes in other contracts. Bullish long positions outnumbered bearish short ones in Brent by a ratio of just 2.17:1 , down from 6.74:1 in late October . Fears the price cap would reduce global crude supplies appear to have prompted a wave of buying in both physical and paper markets throughout late September and early October.
