Such a physical stockpile suggests that demand might be softer than anticipated, which is bearish for crude prices.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Oil edges lower after industry group reports jump in US stockpiles <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/VSUXVfTB6m\">https:\/\/t.co\/VSUXVfTB6m<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/NVsV3bowc8\">pic.twitter.com\/NVsV3bowc8<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Reuters (@Reuters) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Reuters\/status\/1805808258306769384?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 26, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Market caution ahead of the release of the US Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) inflation data also adds weight to the decline. As the preferred measure of inflation by the Federal Reserve, the PCE data could influence the decision making on interest rates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A higher-than-expected inflation reading could lead to more aggressive rate hikes, potentially dampening economic growth and oil demand.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time in the Middle East, increasing hostilities between Israel and Lebanon, coupled with Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian oil infrastructure, have stoked fears of supply disruptions.
