Oil prices dip after unexpected rise in US crude stocks

Oil prices inched higher on Wednesday after industry data showed an unexpected rise in U.S. crude stocks, signalling weak demand to markets already worried about recession and disappointing Chinese economic data.

Both benchmarks climbed over 3 per cent on Tuesday on hopes of rising fuel demand after China's central bank lowered a short-term lending rate. Prices fell by 4 per cent on Monday on concerns about the Chinese economy after disappointing economic data last week. With still-too-hot inflation riding their heels but abundant uncertainty about both the economic outlook and the lagged effects of 10 rate hikes since March 2022, a breather from increases looks to be in the cards when the rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee meeting concludes Wednesday.
