LONDON, Sept. 15 (Reuters) – Oil prices rose on Wednesday as industry data rose sharply as demand for U.S. raw materials fell sharply and vaccinations expanded.
Brent oil rose 60 cents, or 0.8%, to $ 74.20 per barrel at 0858 GMT, while the West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude rose 65 cents or 0.9% to $ 71.11.
U.S. oil, gasoline, and dividends fell last week after Hurricane Ida closed many refineries and offshore production.
Compared to the forecast 3.5 million barrels, raw materials for the week ending September 10 decreased by 5.4 million barrels.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration’s oil reserves report is EDT (1430 GMT) at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday.
