Free AccessCrude Ticks Higher After Volatile Trading Yesterday
Crude edging higher after a mixed day yesterday saw Brent trading between 89.3$/mbbl and 93.5$/bbl. An economic slowdown and weaker oil demand growth concerns continue to weigh on the market after US Fed raised rates by 75bp last night. Crude lost gains from earlier in the day yesterday after a fall in EIA demand data and with a stronger US dollar.

- EIA inventory data showed a build in crude and product stocks and further weakness in both gasoline and diesel implied demand.
