Oil Prices Cease Impressive Winning Streak
The remarkable seven-session winning streak for oil prices came to an end following a report revealing a 12 million-barrel weekly surge in domestic commercial crude inventories. Moreover, data indicated declines in gasoline and distillate stockpiles. Consequently, March-dated West Texas Intermediate Crude (WTI) experienced a reduction of $1.23 cents, or 1.6%, settling at $76.64 per barrel.
Amid enduring concerns about the Federal Reserve’s interest rate stance, spot gold slipped below the $2,000-per-ounce mark on Wednesday. The most active April-dated gold underwent a decrease of $2.90, or 0.1%, concluding at $2,004.30 for the trading session.
