The market was further buoyed by the weekly crude oil inventory reports showing larger than expected draws in crude stocks. Shipping data showed loadings of Venezuela\u2019s heavy crude at its main oil ports slowed this week after the Trump administration signed an executive order to impose a 25% tariff on trade with countries buying Venezuela\u2019s oil. The crude market continued to trend higher as the market opened after the API reported a larger than expected draw in crude stocks of 4.6 million barrels. It posted a low of $69.06 in overnight trading before it continued to trend higher. The market was further supported by a 3.3 million barrel draw in crude stocks reported by the EIA, which pushed the market to its high of $70.22. The oil market, however, gave up some of its gains and traded below the $70.00 level during the remainder of the session. The May WTI contract settled up 65 cents at $69.65 and the May Brent contract settled up 77 cents at $73.79. The product markets ended the session in positive territory amid the draws in product stocks, with the heating oil market settling up 28 points at $2.2887 and the RB market settling up 2.41 cents at $2.2328.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Technical Analysis<\/strong>:&nbsp; The crude market is seen trading sideways as the market failed to settle above the $70 level despite the supportive tariff news regarding Venezuelan crude and the weekly crude stocks reports. The market will also weigh the recent sanctions imposed on Iran against the expectations that OPEC+ will stick to its plan to increase its output for a second consecutive month in May. The oil market is seen finding resistance at its high of $70.22, $70.71, $70.98 and $72.09. Meanwhile, support is seen at $69.06, $68.52, $67.95, $67.65, $66.63 and $66.09.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fundamental News<\/strong>:&nbsp; Ukraine\u2019s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy called on the United States on Wednesday to further sanction Moscow, which he said was clearly not pursuing a &#8220;real peace&#8221; after a night of Russian drone attacks that caused damage in several places. He said the attacks went against the spirit of the peace talks. He singled out strikes on his hometown of Kryvyi Rih and the northern region of Sumy, amid questions swirled over basic details of two ceasefire agreements that were announced by the United States on Tuesday after talks in Saudi Arabia. The United States said it agreed to separate deals with Ukraine and Russia to pause their strikes over the Black Sea and against each other&#8217;s energy targets, although it was unclear when the agreements came into force. Ukraine\u2019s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said they were effective immediately, but the Kremlin said the Black Sea agreements would not come into effect unless some Russian banks were linked back up with the international financial system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russia\u2019s Deputy Prime Minister, Alexander Novak, said global oil demand was seen increasing between 1 million bpd and 1.5 million bpd this year. That compares with the latest expectations from OPEC for an increase of 1.45 million bpd. He said that the OPEC+ group will monitor the oil market, which is currently stable, while it was important to keep the supply-demand balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to a Dallas Fed survey, activity in the U.S. oil and gas sector increased slightly in the first quarter of 2025 but uncertainty and pessimism among companies also increased. It reported that oil and gas production increased slightly in the first quarter of 2025 and costs among oilfield service firms increased at a faster pace in the first quarter of 2025 versus the fourth quarter of 2024. Companies expect a WTI oil price of $68\/barrel by the end of 2025 and natural gas prices of $3.78\/mmBtu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IIR Energy said U.S. oil refiners are expected to shut in about 1.6 million bpd of capacity in the week ending March 28<sup>th<\/sup>, cutting available refining capacity by 216,000 bpd. Offline capacity is expected to fall to 1.5 million bpd in the week ending April 4<sup>th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Early<\/strong><strong> Market Call &#8211; as of 8:35 AM EDT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>WTI &#8211; May $69.60, down 5 cents<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>RBOB &#8211; Apr $2.2353, up 25 points <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>HO &#8211; Apr $2.2849, down 38 points<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recap:&nbsp; The oil market on Wednesday remained well supported by concerns over tighter global supply following the threat of tariffs on countries buying Venezuelan crude.
