• Oil & Gas Prices for Friday Morning
  WTI and Brent crude oil futures are trading higher and are on track to...

  WTI and Brent crude oil futures are trading higher and are on track to end the week largely unchanged as the market balanced supply fears against renewed economic concerns in the United States and China. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said that the U.S. faces financial and economic catastrophe if Congress fails to raise the debt ceiling and the U.S. Federal Reserve will probably need to raise interest rates further if inflation stays high. Meanwhile, a decline in new loans to businesses in China and weaker economic data there earlier in the week refocused doubts about its recovery from COVID restrictions driving oil demand growth.
