Oil prices

Oil prices rose modestly on Wednesday, buoyed by signs of strengthening global demand and improved trade sentiment following a new agreement between the United States and Japan.

Brent crude climbed to around $68.90 per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) was trading at approximately $65.60 per barrel, both gaining slightly in early trading.
The upward movement comes as U.S. crude inventories show a sharper-than-expected decline, indicating increased consumption. Analysts also point to improved market confidence following recent trade developments.

Despite fluctuations earlier in the week, market observers suggest that current price trends reflect a cautiously optimistic outlook for global oil demand.
