Market reaction

These 4 million barrels getting through lower confidence in traffic normalization, making a YES resolution by month-end less likely.
The WTI Crude Oil market may see prices rise on perceived supply disruptions, potentially pushing closer to the $160 mark by April’s end. Traders betting on a price surge are banking on geopolitical tensions escalating further.
What to watch
