Oil Edges Higher with Demand in Focus Ahead of Fed Decision

OIL

Front month crude is edging higher to reverse some of the decline from yesterday with focus on uncertain global demand ahead of the US Fed decision later today while the risk of an escalation in the conflict in Israel seem to have eased for now. US Secretary of State Blinken will return to the region including Israel to continue his efforts to ensure the conflict doesn’t spread.
