Crude Oil Prices Rally to Three-Year High on Weak US Crude Draw

Weekly Decline in U.S. Crude Despite an increase of 1.8 million barrels in U.S. crude production according to a report from the American Petroleum Institute earlier this month, oil prices were seen trading higher for the past couple of trading sessions. At the beginning of the month, oil prices rallied on reports of a slightly weaker draw in U.S. crude before it lost ground due to tensions in the Middle East that offset the previous decline in U.S. inventories.
