Oil prices rose noticeably on Wednesday (5/5) due to the removal of pandemic lockdowns, which bodes well for summer travel activity and subsequent oil demand.
WTI is currently at $66.56, up 1.7% from yesterday (5/4).
Similarly, Brent jumped 1.7% to $69.79, closing in on the $70/barrel mark.
Additionally, the EIA reported a crude inventory draw of 8.0 million barrels for the most recent week.
