Oil Steadies Ahead of Ukraine Peace Talks and Fed Interest Rate Decision

U.S. oil production forecast raised to 13.61 million barrels per day as markets weigh risks from Russian supply and await Federal Reserve rate decision.

  • On Wednesday, oil prices steadied as investors monitored progress in Russia‑Ukraine peace talks and awaited a U.S. Federal Reserve interest-rate decision.
  • A peace deal could remove sanctions on Russian companies, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Ukraine and European partners will soon present refined peace plan documents to the U.S.
  • Market sources citing the API reported U.S. crude inventories fell by 4.78 million last week while gasoline stocks rose by 7 million and distillate inventories swelled by 1.03 million.
  • Markets were expecting the U.S. Federal Reserve to reduce its main interest rate by a quarter on Wednesday, and government inventory data due at 1530 GMT was shaping near-term moves for traders.
  • If a peace deal removes sanctions, freed Russian supply could alter the oil market glut by increasing available output, ING analysts said.
