Oil prices rose in early trade on Wednesday, almost near its 10-month high, as a bigger-than-expected draw in US oil stockpiles and weak US shale output reinforced fears of tight crude supply for the rest of 2023.

Global benchmark Brent crude futures climbed 6 cents, or 0.1 percent, to $94.40 a barrel by 0034 GMT, staying near the highest since November of $95.96 hit on Tuesday.
US West Texas Intermediate crude futures rose 29 cents, or 0.3 percent, to $91.49 a barrel, not too far from a 10-month high of $93.74 a barrel reached the previous day. The October WTI contract expires on Wednesday and the more active November contract was up 9 cents, or 0.1 percent, at $90.57 a barrel.

"Crude oil hit fresh 10-month highs in the international markets on Tuesday but investors booked profits at higher levels ahead of the Fed meeting outcomes. Tight global supply positions after OPEC+ members Saudi Arabia and Russia this month extended combined supply cuts have been supporting crude oil prices. Crude oil prices also gained post-Chinese stimulus measures to support its economy. We expect crude oil prices to remain volatile in today’s session. Crude oil has support at $89.10–88.50 and resistance is at $90.90–91.50 in today’s session. In INR Crude oil has support at Rs 7,460-7,350, while resistance is at Rs 7,630–7,710," said Rahul Kalantri, VP Commodities, Mehta Equities Ltd.
