This week’s drawdown “ended a three-week streak of rising stockpiles, signaling a potential shift in supply dynamics,” Trading Economics noted.

A drop in US crude stocks typically indicates higher demand and can lend some support to Brent's price.

The widely watched official data from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) is scheduled for release later today.
