Crude oil prices ticked higher earlier today, extending gains from Tuesday as traders continued to worry about the stability of flows out of the Middle East. At the time of writing, Brent crude was trading at $110.30 per barrel, with West Texas Intermediate at $99.12 per barrel, both up by over 1% from Tuesday. The latest inventory report out of the U. S. contributed to the bullish sentiment with another sizable draw estimated for last week. The rally also comes despite a Wall Street Journal report from Tuesday that said oil flows out of the Middle East had topped pre-war levels in the week to October 18, running at a daily average of 24 million barrels. The report cited data from Kpler, which Reuters had cited in a separate report as estimating Hormuz flows specifically at 8.5 million barrels daily, because of intensified Iranian attacks. For the WSJ report, the Hormuz flows were estimated at 14 million barrels daily.

In its third-quarter earnings report release on Tuesday, streaming giant Netflix beat many expectations, but still delivered some unwanted news to investors: viewer metrics, especially in the United States, could be better. In the report, the company reported its slowest revenue increase in years, and also revised its outlook for the year, particularly upsetting investors by saying that it is now expecting $2.7 billion in ad revenue instead of the previously projected $3 billion. Netflix’s position as the leading subscription-based streaming service worldwide has done little to quell investor fears that it is losing viewers to the likes of YouTube and TikTok. Its stock was down more than 40% this past year, per WSJ. The slide began when Netflix announced its now-failed intention to buy Warner Bros. Discovery, which is now a part of David Ellison’s Skydance instead. The latest earnings report didn’t necessarily help that downward trend by sending the stock down almost 6%. Going into the report, investors were already worried about viewer metrics, and specifically something called view hours growth, the amount of time viewers spend watching stuff on Netflix.
