Oil Prices Steady Ahead of Ukraine Peace Talks
Oil prices stabilized as investors monitored Russia-Ukraine peace talks and awaited a U.S. interest rate decision. Brent crude rose 0.1% to $62.01, and WTI crude increased 0.2% to $58.35. U.S. crude inventories fell by 4.78 million barrels, while gasoline and distillate stocks rose. The U.S. Federal Reserve is expected to cut interest rates to support the labor market.
