Bigger-than-expected draw in US crude stockpiles, even as worries about weak oil demand in China persisted.
US crude stocks fell for a sixth week in a row, dropping by 3.7 million barrels to 429.3 million barrels last week, government data showed, more than analysts’ expectations in a Reuters poll for a 700,000-barrel draw.
Demand is stronger than people thought and overall supplies are tighter.
Lower production at Libya’s 300,000 barrel-per-day (bpd) Sharara oilfield is also adding to concerns about supply shortages.
