Investing.com — Oil prices rose Friday, helped by signs that U.S. inflation is cooling, potentially opening the possibility of the Federal Reserve ending its rate-hiking cycle this year, helping economic activity in the world\u2019s largest consumer.<\/p>\n

By 09:15 ET (13:15 GMT), futures traded 1.2% higher at $70.66 a barrel, while the contract rose 1% to $75.28 a barrel.<\/p>\n

PCE data surprises on downside<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Data released earlier Friday showed that the rose last month at a year-on-year pace of 3.8%, easing from April’s 4.4% pace. <\/p>\n

Additionally, underlying , often regarded as the Fed\u2019s preferred gauge of inflation, rose 4.6%, a touch less than the 4.7% economists expected. <\/p>\n

While the Fed is still widely expected to increase its key interest rate again in July, the probability has decreased slightly and uncertainty over the need for another increase after that has grown.<\/p>\n

\u201cExpectations of further hikes is one of the factors which is capping the upside in the market, while on the downside, the belief that OPEC+ will take further action if there is significant further weakness provides a floor to the market,\u201d said analysts at ING, in a note.<\/p>\n

Another negative quarter looms<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Both contracts are on course to add over 3% this June, with Brent marking its first positive month this year. But the quarter as a whole is set to be a negative one, the fourth in succession, amid concerns over sluggish global economic activity and fuel demand.<\/p>\n

China’s factory activity declined for a third straight month in June, the official showed on Friday, coming in at 49.0, below the 50-point mark that separates contraction and expansion.<\/p>\n

Additionally, for June also recorded its weakest reading since China abandoned its strict COVID curbs late last year.<\/p>\n

The news in Europe is even worse, with the eurozone entering a recession in the first quarter of the year and growth only marginally improving in the subsequent months.<\/p>\n

Large U.S. stocks draw lends support<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Still, there has been some good news this week as the Energy Information Administration reported on Wednesday a substantially bigger-than-expected draw in U.S. , falling by 9.6 million barrels.<\/p>\n

This raises the prospect of tighter supplies in the massive U.S. market as the travel-heavy summer season heats up.<\/p>\n

The week ends with the release of the position data, as well as the U.S. rig count data. <\/p>\n

\u201cIf the trend seen for the last several months holds, we will likely see a further slowdown in U.S. drilling activity,\u201d ING added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
