Oil Prices Slide as US Crude Stockpiles Rise and Fuel Inventories Build
WTI oil prices remained just above $70 as a crude oil inventory draw of 4.6 million barrels was offset by a significant inventory build in gasoline and a smaller one in distillates. The market is uncertain due to the latest production cuts from OPEC+ and concerns about Chinese energy demand growth. Some analysts are pessimistic, while others argue that the commodity is oversold. WTI front-month futures are now trading almost 15% lower than 30 days ago.
