Oil Prices Rise Amidst Trade Court Ruling, OPEC+ Decisions
Oil prices are changing because of a few things.
One is that a court stopped some tariffs, which made oil prices go up.
Another thing affecting prices is OPEC+ countries, who will decide on how much oil to produce in July.
Some people think these countries might produce more oil, which could make prices go down.
Also, if the US puts more sanctions on Russia, it could affect the oil market.
Overall, there are different things happening that make it hard to predict whether oil prices will go up or down.
Oil prices rose after a US trade court blocked tariffs.
West Texas Intermediate traded above $62 a barrel.
Brent closed near $65.
OPEC+ countries will decide on output policy for July.
US crude stockpiles dropped by 4.2 million barrels last week.
