Crude Oil is trading today in the European session around the $83 level.
On Monday, oil prices edged upwards, continuing their recent upward trend. This was supported by positive factory data from China, which boosted the demand outlook.
Additionally, concerns over tight supplies contributed to the price gains. China's official factory survey revealed that manufacturing activity expanded for the first time in six months in March. This supports oil demand from the world's largest crude importer, despite ongoing challenges in the property sector weighing on the economy.
