‘There is a clear bias to the upside with the supply restrictions,’ says CMC Markets’ Michael McCarthy
Tokyo — Oil prices were mixed on Thursday, with Brent edging higher towards the psychological $70 level after easing in the previous session on data showing a surprise build in US inventories.
Global benchmark Brent has risen nearly 30% so far in 2019, while WTI has gained nearly 40c, with prices underpinned by tightening global supply and signs of demand picking up. The Caixin-Markit services purchasing managers index rose to 54.4, the highest since January 2018 and up from February’s 51.1, a four-month low, a private business survey of China’s service sector showed on Wednesday.
