American oil inventories are positive and better than expectations, impacting the markets!

Data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration released today, Wednesday, showed a significant drop in crude oil inventories for the week ending on March 21, with figures coming in better than expected, which was reflected in oil price movements in global markets.

According to the data, U.S. inventories fell by 3.3 million barrels last week, while expectations had indicated a decrease of only 1.5 million barrels. This decline follows an increase of 1.7 million barrels in the previous week, which may affect demand and supply dynamics in the upcoming period.

U.S. oil inventory data holds significant importance in global markets as it plays a key role in determining trends in crude oil prices. Additionally, fluctuations in petroleum product prices directly impact inflation rates, along with their consequences for industrial sectors that primarily rely on oil as an energy source.

During today's trading, West Texas Intermediate crude futures rose by 0.99%, bringing the price per barrel to $69.83, as investors await the repercussions of the released data on market supply and demand balance.
