News on oil prices

The oil traders are awaiting the release of crude oil inventories at 17:30 MT time. According to the forecasts, the number of barrels will advance by 2 million. If the actual level is higher, the oil prices will go down.

The price for WTI has been trading within a descending channel. At the beginning of the trading day, it has failed to overcome the $54.2 resistance level.
