WTI crude oil prices dropped to $87.24, falling below its 50-day moving average after breaking a key trendline, pressured by G7's coordinated release of 100 million barrels over four months and depleted fuel inventories. Despite increased crude supply, shortages in gasoline and distillates persist, with inventories significantly below seasonal averages, raising concerns about supply chain disruptions. The market remains cautious as refinery utilization adjusts and geopolitical tensions continue to impact trade routes. Analysts note that rebuilding inventories and normalizing supply chains could take up to two years, with demand fluctuations influencing future price stability.
