Brent Above 80$/bbl with Weaker USD After US CPI Data

OIL

Crude edges higher to trade above 80$/bbl for the first time since May after the updated US CPI data came out lower than expected and with a weaker USD. The market is weighing tighter supplies driven by cuts from Saudi Arabia and Russia against economic demand concerns and the potential for further US Fed rate tightening.
