Crude Oil Futures Decline Amid West Asia Supply Recovery and Weak Domestic Demand
Crude oil futures declined amid signs of recovering supplies from West Asia and weak domestic spot demand. Brent crude fell over 1% to around $97 per barrel, while US crude inventories rose slightly. Saudi Arabia resumed shipments from the Yanbu port, and Iran reportedly received a US response on reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Despite global supply improvements, domestic futures prices dropped due to reduced spot market demand, with mixed trends in US fuel inventories.
