Oil settles slightly higher, investors focus on steep draw in fuel stocks
Brent crude futures settled 28 cents, or 0.4% higher at $72.56 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures rose 27 cents, or 0.4% at $68.70. Both benchmarks had briefly dipped into negative territory during the trading session. Brent was on track to lose about 1.7% for the week, while WTI was set to end the week over 2% lower due to a stronger U.S. dollar and worries about rising supply amid slow demand growth.
