Oil prices edged higher on Wednesday as markets worried about supply tightness in the U.S., the world’s biggest oil consumer, after data showed a larger-than-expected draw in its crude and gasoline inventories.
Brent crude futures rose 32 cents, or 0.4%, to $72.58 a barrel at 0002 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) futures gained 23 cents, or 0.3%, to $67.94 a barrel.
