Singapore March 13 2025: Oil prices slipped on Thursday after a surge in the previous session on a larger-than-expected draw in U.S. gasoline stocks, as markets weighed macroeconomic concerns against firm near-term demand.
Brent futures fell 5 cents to $70.9 a barrel by 0426 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures shed 10 cents to $67.58 a barrel.
Both benchmarks rallied about 2% on Wednesday as U.S. government data showed tighter-than-expected oil and fuel inventories.
