"The rally in crude oil took a breather after US crude stockpiles rose modestly," wrote ANZ Research analysts Brian Martin and Daniel Hynes in a Friday note. "Despite this, demand remains strong ... The pause in prices was also driven by reports the US is planning to accelerate the release of strategic reserves. However, this will be overshadowed by ongoing supply constraints globally," they said.
