Crude Oil Futures: Door open to extra gains near term

Open interest in crude oil futures markets shrank for the second straight session on Monday, now by around 10.5K contracts according to preliminary readings from CME Group. Volume, instead, resumed the uptrend and rose by around 9.7K contracts.
