Investing.com — Oil prices rose in Asian trade on Wednesday as industry data signaled a sharp drop in U.S. inventories, heralding tighter supplies, although concerns over slowing economic growth and a U.S. debt default still persisted.<\/p>\n

Data from the (API) showed that U.S. inventories shrank at their fastest pace in nearly six months over the past week, as gasoline demand heats up ahead of the travel-heavy summer season.<\/p>\n

The reading usually heralds a similar reading from due later in the day, and, coupled with signs of disruption in U.S. crude supplies, points to tighter oil markets in the coming days.<\/p>\n

futures rose 1% to $77.78 a barrel, while futures rose 1.3% to $73.91 a barrel by 21:41 ET (01:41 GMT).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Both contracts rose sharply over the past two sessions, tracking a spike in U.S. as markets bet on increased fuel consumption in the summer season. U.S. gasoline futures surged 2% to a five-week high after the API data.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The data follows weaker-than-expected readings released earlier this month, which pointed to a slowing economic rebound in the world\u2019s largest oil importer.<\/p>\n

Negotiations between Democrat and Republican lawmakers continued on Tuesday, but both parties offered little cues on when a deal could be reached. This comes just before a June deadline for a U.S. default, which could have far-reaching consequences for the global economy.<\/p>\n

Crude prices are still trading down about 6% for the year, hit largely by concerns that worsening economic conditions will stymie a recovery in demand.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A stronger also weighed on crude, as markets awaited more cues on monetary policy from the minutes of the Federal Reserve\u2019s May meeting, due later in the day.<\/p>\n
