Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Oil prices increased on Tuesday as demand surged ahead of the release of fresh economic data from China, the world\u2019s largest oil importer and second largest consumer.<\/p>\n

International benchmark Brent crude traded at $82.59 per barrel at 9.49 a.m. local time (0649 GMT), up 0.67% from the closing price of $82.04 a barrel in the previous trading session.<\/p>\n

At the same time, American benchmark West Texas Intermediate (WTI) traded at $76.28 per barrel, a 0.79% increase after the previous session closed at $75.68 a barrel.<\/p>\n

While inflationary concerns in the world’s largest oil consumer, the US, continue to weigh on oil prices, investor expectations of a strong demand rebound in China, the world’s largest oil importer, are lifting market sentiment.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) for China will be released, providing an indication of how China’s economic reopening is progressing.<\/p>\n

In an e-mailed note, Australia and New Zealand Banking Group commodity strategist Daniel Hynes said China\u2019s mobility data shows a strong recovery in activity, with road congestion up 47% month on month in February.<\/p>\n

“Flight schedules remain high after the Chinese New Year holiday,” he also said.<\/p>\n

Investors are also awaiting industrial data on crude oil inventories in the US.<\/p>\n

The American Petroleum Institute (API) will release its forecast data on US inventories later on Tuesday, ahead of the US Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) data on oil stocks on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

On the supply side, investors are looking at the effects of Russia’s output cut of 500,000 barrels per day beginning March 1.<\/p>\n
