  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.

  
  

  Natural gas futures are running flat to lower in early trading as the NOAA's 8-14 day outlook shows above-normal temps across parts of the Pacific NW and Great Basin, and for much of the West and Northern Plains, as well as the MS Valley and southern Atlantic states.

• Energy Sector Commentary for Thursday

  Energy stocks are set to open lower, tracking declining broader index futures and oil prices.  Weekly jobless claims of 264,000 were the highest in 19 months, while embattled regional bank PacWest shares are down over 20% after reporting that deposits fell 9.5% last week.  A potentially weakening labor market and further troubles in the regional banks are weighing heavily on risk sentiment.

  
  

  Oil prices erased earlier gains on Thursday during U.S. trading hours as a political standoff about the U.S. debt ceiling overshadowed a G7 finance leaders' meeting, raising jitters about a possible recession in the world's biggest oil consumer.

  
  

  Natural gas futures are lower by 1% ahead of weekly inventory data.
