Crude Oil is trading today in the Asian session above the $78 level.
Oil prices climbed in Asian trading on Thursday, continuing their upward trajectory from the previous session, buoyed by a U.S. consumer inflation report that fell short of expectations, thereby weakening the dollar and fostering expectations of potential interest rate decreases.
Additionally, a larger-than-anticipated reduction in U.S. inventories further fueled speculation about tighter global supply conditions in the forthcoming months. Concurrently, market participants remained attentive to developments surrounding an incident in Galveston, Texas, to assess any potential impact on oil supplies.
