Brent Crude: rose more than 1% to above $93 per barrel Wednesday, attempting to recover from a 6-month low of $91.5 hit earlier in the session after government data showed US crude stockpiles declined the most in four months.
US crude inventories shrank 7.056 million barrels last week, much more than market expectations of a 0.275-million-barrel decrease.
The oil market has been under pressure this week, weighed by concerns that a global economic slowdown could heavily impact energy demand and a potential boost in Iranian supply.
The EU said on Tuesday that it was studying Iran’s response to a “final” draft agreement on reviving the 2015 nuclear accord, and analysts said that a potential deal could unleash about 2.5 million bpd of Iranian crude to the global markets.
