Oil prices up over fears of weak oil demand in US

MG News | January 17, 2023 at 01:34 PM GMT+05:00
January 17, 2023: Oil prices slightly rose on Tuesday over demand worries after a higher-than-expected increase in oil stockpiles in the US, the world's largest oil consumer.
International benchmark Brent crude traded at $82.75 per barrel at 09.22 a.m. local time, a 0.10% increase from the closing price of $82.67 a barrel in the previous trading session.
The American benchmark West Texas Intermediate traded at $77.48 per barrel at the same time, a 0.09% increase after the previous session closed at $77.41 a barrel.
US commercial crude oil inventories increased by around 19 million barrels to 439.6mn barrels, according to Energy Information Administration (EIA) data.
Market expectation was a decline of around 2.4mn barrels.
An increase in crude stocks signaled falling crude demand in the US and weighed on oil prices.
Renewed hopes of a demand increase in China, the world's biggest oil importer, supported upward price movements while growing fears about further interest rate hikes in the US limited further price upticks.
