Crude Oil is trading today in the European session above the $83 level.
Oil prices rebounded in European trading on Thursday after an earlier decline, as investor caution grew due to expectations of reduced demand.
This was prompted by weaker-than-anticipated U.S. employment and business data, signalling a potential slowdown in the world's largest oil-consuming economy.
Although geopolitical factors and weather conditions continue to present bullish risks, the fundamental strength of the physical oil market appears to be diminishing.
