Oil prices rose on Thursday as crude stockpiles in the United States, the world's top oil consumer, fell to their lowest since January 2020, with Brent crude oil prices pushing back past $75 a barrel.
Brent crude oil futures gained 36 cents, or 0.5%, to $75.10 a barrel by 0247 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude oil futures increased by 33 cents, or 0.5%, to $72.72 a barrel.
Brent topped $75 a barrel for the first time in more than two years in June, but fell back sharply earlier this month on fears about the rapid spread of the Delta variant and a compromise deal by leading OPEC producers to increase supply. "The falls suggest the rise in cases of COVID-19's Delta variant is having little impact on mobility," ANZ analysts said in a note on Thursday.
Crude inventories fell by 4.1 million barrels in the week to July 23, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said, helped by lower imports and a decline in weekly production.The U.S. economic recovery is still on track despite the rise in coronavirus infections, the Federal Reserve said on Wednesday in a policy statement that remained upbeat and flagged ongoing talks around the eventual withdrawal of monetary policy support.
