Crude Oil rose above the mark of $70.50 level in the European session, testing fresh three-week highs.
Crude Oil prices have been trending upward since this morning, driven by a larger-than-expected decline in U.S. crude oil inventories and additional support from a new round of EU sanctions, which are expected to further tighten Russian oil supply. Adding to the bullish sentiment, ongoing concerns about geopolitical tensions and potential supply disruptions continue to support the oil market. Today at 18:00 GMT, new US Oil Rig Count data will be released.
