MUSCAT : Brent crude futures fell 23 cents, or 0.3 percent, to $66.77 per barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude dropped 19 cents, or 0.3 percent, to $63.29. The sustained decline comes amid market caution ahead of Sunday’s OPEC+ gathering, where producers will weigh supply adjustments against global demand signals.
U.S. crude inventories rose unexpectedly last week by 2.4 million barrels, according to government data. Analysts had forecast a drop of about 2 million barrels, but refineries entering maintenance season contributed to the surprise stockpile increase.
