Crude Oil is trading slightly higher today in the Asian session above the $85 level.
On Wednesday morning, crude oil futures saw a slight uptick in trading activity, despite industry data indicating a rise in crude oil inventories within the United States.
According to the American Petroleum Institute (API), crude oil inventories in the US expanded by 3.03 million barrels for the week concluding on April 5th. This figure surpassed API's earlier projection of a 2.41 million barrel increase for the same period.
Market participants are now anticipating the release of official crude oil inventory data from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) later today. This data is eagerly awaited as it will provide a comprehensive view of the inventory landscape within the US, thereby offering insights into the supply dynamics influencing crude oil markets.
