Oil closes higher in reaction to US reserve data
Oil fluctuated near stability during yesterday morning but held onto gains after the report on reserves from the United States last week, released by the Department of Energy (DoE). Additionally, the weaker dollar contributed to the movement. US oil reserves rose by 118,000 barrels last week, crude oil for August closed 1.13% higher at $72.45 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange (Nymex), while Brent crude for August advanced 1.41% to $76.78 per barrel
