In the US, data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) showed that crude oil reserves last week decreased by 3.6 million barrels, bringing total inventories to 432.4 million barrels. This development reflects the increasing domestic consumption demand, contributing to strengthening the recovery momentum of the oil market.
