Oil tanks
Oil was steady today, March 30, as investors evaluated the latest industry data with a report indicating weak diesel demand in the world's largest economy.
International benchmark Brent crude was trading at $78.26 a barrel, at 10:04 am Makkah time.
West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude was at $73.00 a barrel.
According to the Energy Information Administration data, oil production in the US decreased in the past week, in conjunction with a strong decline in US imports of crude and a decline in oil stocks. The report indicated a weak demand for diesel in the US, bringing back recession fears.
The Dallas Fed Energy Survey showed that the forecast for the price of WTI crude averaged $79.64 per barrel through 2023, down from the $83.63 per barrel average forecast in the previous quarter.
