Oil prices worldwide
Oil prices edged higher on Thursday after recovering some ground from Wednesday's plunge on worries about future US interest rate hikes. The markets are now eyeing the key Chinese economic data for demand indications. Brent crude futures climbed 21 cents, or 0.3 per cent, to $73.41 a barrel by 0009 GMT. US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude was at $68.50 a barrel, up 23 cents, or 0.4 per cent.
Both benchmarks fell 1.5 per cent on Wednesday after the US Federal Reserve projected more rate hikes this year, triggering fears a higher interest rate environment would slow the economy and lower oil demand.
“Crude oil prices were unable to hold on to previous session gains and plunged again amid the increase in the US crude oil stocks and global demand concerns. As per the US EIA, crude oil inventories in the U.S. surged by 7.919 million barrels against expectations of an increase of 1.482 million barrels. Crude oil has support at $67.80–66.90 and resistance is at $69.10–69.90 in today’s session. In INR Crude oil has support at Rs 5,550-5,480, while resistance is at Rs 5,710–5,770,” Rahul Kalantri, VP Commodities, Mehta Equities Ltd.
