Oil prices made a modest recovery on Friday after four consecutive days of losses but were still set for their steepest weekly drop since late June. Even with this slight rebound, Brent is on track for an 8.3% weekly loss and WTI for a 7.6% drop, reflecting heightened bearish pressure in the oil market. The U.S. Energy Information Administration confirmed a build-up in crude oil, gasoline, and distillate stocks last week as refinery activity and demand softened. Overall, the oil market faces a fragile outlook. Unless demand picks up, rising supply and weakening fundamentals could push crude prices into further decline, keeping traders on edge as OPEC+ prepares its next move.
