Crude Oil is trading steady today at 87.12.
Western Texas Intermediate (WTI), the US crude oil benchmark, is trading around $87.12 so far on Wednesday. A surge in oil prices is bolstered by the escalating tension in the Middle East after hundreds were killed in a blast at a Gaza hospital, which triggered the fear of potential oil supply disruptions.
Also driving the Gold price up was the latest GDP Q3 2023 economic data from China indicating recovery in the second’s world largest economy.
The American Petroleum Institute (API) reported on Tuesday that US crude oil inventories fell nearly 4.383M barrels for the week ending October 13 from the previous reading of 12.93M barrels rise.
