Oil prices ticked up at Thursday’s trading session, extending gains after a plunge in U.S. crude oil inventories boosted fuel demand amid hopes of a possible Brexit deal.

What you should know: At the time of writing this report, Brent oil futures were up by  0.83% to $51.62, increasing the odds of staying above $50/barrel before Christmas. Also, the  West Texas Intermediate futures gained 0.73% to trade at $48.47.

Recent data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA)  revealed a plunge of 562,000 barrels in U.S. crude oil supply for the week to Dec. 18. Although the plunge in U.S crude oil inventories was much smaller than the 3.186-million-barrel plunge many leading energy experts had earlier envisaged as well as the previous week’s draw of 3.135 million barrels.

“The oil market rallied along with broader markets supported by a flat-out bullish EIA inventory report.

“And thanks to medical experts warning against overreaction to the new virus strain, there is a greater understanding it will not trigger a new wave of severe lockdown blockades around the world as France showed the way by quickly re-opening trade and transport links with the UK, which provided a major sigh of relief to oil markets for a lockdown perspective,” Innes stated.
