Global oil prices edged higher today as supply and demand dynamics remain mixed. Brent crude sits at 92.45 USD per barrel, up from 91.92 USD on the previous day; it remains below its 30 day level of 106.39 USD. WTI crude trades at 86.25 USD per barrel, just under the previous day at 86.28 USD and well below its 30 day level of 94.88 USD. The broader picture suggests a modest uptick in Brent while WTI stays range bound, reflecting ongoing uncertainty around geopolitical factors and demand expectations.
