Oil prices rises as expected supply cuts offset inflation concerns
Oil prices traded higher on Wednesday as expected tight crude supply for the rest of the year offset inflation concerns.
Saudi Arabia and Russia’s extension of 1.3 million barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil production cuts to the end of this year will lock in a substantial market deficit through the fourth quarter, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said on Wednesday.
The continuing supply cuts could lift Brent futures above the $100 a barrel threshold before the end of the year, Bank of America analysts said on Wednesday.
