West Texas Intermediate (WTI), the U.S. crude oil benchmark, is trading around $63.02 during Friday's afternoon Asian session, extending its decline for a third straight session. The pressure comes amid mounting concerns over the U.S. economic outlook, excess oil supplies, and ongoing uncertainty around the Federal Reserve's stance on interest rate cuts.
US crude inventories posted a sharp decline last week as net imports fell to a record low and exports climbed to their highest level in nearly two years. Data released by the US EIA on Wednesday showed that crude oil stockpiles in the US for the week ending September 12 fell by 9.285 million barrels, compared to a rise of 3.939 million barrels in the previous week.
Nonetheless, a larger-than-expected rise in distillate stockpiles, which increased by 4 million barrels versus predictions of a 1 million barrel increase, raised worries about demand in the world's top oil consumer and undermined the WTI price for three days in a row.
From e technical perspective, the broader structure remains defined by a horizontal range, with WTI contained between $65.00 on the upside and $61.50 on the downside since early August. A sustained break above the upper boundary could unlock room toward $67.00-68.00, whereas a drop below $61.50 would expose the $60.00 psychological level and potentially shift momentum back in favor of sellers.
