Crude oil price

Oil prices rose on Friday after the US tightened its sanctions programme against Russian crude exports, raising supply concerns in an already tight market, and global inventories are forecast to decline through the fourth quarter, Reuters reported.

Brent futures rose 36 cents, or 0.4 per cent, to $86.36 per barrel and U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude gained 53 cents, or 0.6 per cent, to $83.44 a barrel at 0052 GMT.  

Brent is set for a weekly gain of 2.1%, while WTI is set to climb 0.8 per cent for the week, after both contracts surged on Monday on the potential for disruptions to Middle Eastern exports after Hamas' attack on Israel over the weekend threatened a possible wider conflict.

“WTI Crude oil futures pared early gains and declined after the EIA inventory report which showed an unexpected buildup in inventory coupled with the sharp rise in weekly output. Crude oil inventories in the US rose by 10.176 million barrels during the previous week, while a decline was seen in distillate and gasoline stocks amid a drop in refinery utilization owing to the ongoing maintenance works. Meanwhile, US weekly crude production rose to a record high of 13.2 mbpd during the previous week. Oil prices steadied in early Asian trading as investors are closely watching events unfolding in Israel and Gaza,” said Ravindra Rao, CMT, EPAT, VP-Head Commodity Research, Kotak Securities Ltd.
