Oil prices witnessed an upward trend in Asian trade during Thursday’s market session. This rise in prices is a continuation of the previous gains experienced due to an unexpected large-scale withdrawal from the U.S. crude storage. This, in turn, presented a strong indication of robust demand, leading to increased market positivity. Market players interpreted this unprecedented drawdown as a signal of strong demand and reduced oversupply in the near future, contributing to the rise in oil prices.
Adding to the favourable market dynamics is the latest signal from the U.S. Federal Reserve about lower borrowing costs by 2024. This development has spurred hopeful demand expectations, as lower financing costs generally result in increased economic activities. A strong economy typically implies a higher demand for commodities like oil, hence the optimistic market responses. It is predicted that these factors will continue to support oil prices in the short to medium term, causing further market responsiveness in future sessions.
