Oil decreases due to demand concerns and increased supply

Thursday morning Asian trade saw a dip in oil prices as traders anticipated an increase in oil production and a decrease in demand.


Brent oil prices fell 53 cents, or 0.5%, to $96.87 a barrel by 00:05 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures fell 61 cents, or 0.7%, to $91.32.


The U.S. Energy Information Administration stated that crude oil stockpiles rose by 5.5 million barrels in the most recent week, above the forecasted increase of 73,000 barrels.


The gasoline product supply grew to 9.1 million barrels per day in the most recent week, despite a 6% reduction in demand over the previous four weeks compared to the same time in the previous year.


Flows on the Russia-to-Europe Druzhba pipeline resumed earlier this week.


The Russian oil pipeline monopoly Transneft has restarted oil transport along the southern portion of the Druzhba oil pipeline. Since the start of this month, Ukraine has restricted Russian oil pipeline exports to parts of central Europe because Western sanctions prevented it from receiving transit payments from Moscow, Transneft said on Tuesday.


Later on Wednesday, the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) will announce their respective monthly oil statistics.
