Investing.com– Oil prices rose in Asian trade on Wednesday, sticking to over three-month highs as industry data pointed to a substantially larger-than-expected drawdown in U.S. inventories over the past week.<\/p>\n

While further gains in prices were somewhat held back by a strong , the inventory data pointed to a further tightening in global supplies following steep production cuts by the world\u2019s largest producers.<\/p>\n

jumped over 1% to $85.86 a barrel, while rose 1.1% to $82.27 a barrel by 21:34 ET (01:34 GMT). Both contracts also appeared to have resumed a rally after small losses in the prior session, and were trading at their highest levels since mid-April.<\/p>\n

The higher oil prices also saw the U.S. government withdraw an offer to buy six million barrels of oil to refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, media reports said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

U.S. inventories shrink by over 15 mln barrels, largest draw on record\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Data from the (API) showed on late-Tuesday that U.S. crude inventories likely shrank by 15.4 million barrels in the week to July 28, compared to analyst expectations for a draw of about 70,000 barrels and a 0.6 million barrel draw in the prior week.<\/p>\n

The draw was the largest seen in data stretching back to 1982, and indicated that crude supplies in the world\u2019s largest economy were rapidly tightening amid slowing production and falling global supplies.<\/p>\n

The data ties into bets that steady oil demand and weakening global output will substantially tighten oil markets this year, boosting crude prices.<\/p>\n

The API data usually heralds a similar trend in , which is due later on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

and inventories- a key indicator of fuel demand- shrank more than expected, according to the API data, indicating that U.S. fuel consumption was also picking up after a lull over the past month.<\/p>\n

OPEC meeting on tap<\/h2>\n

The API reading underscores attempts by Saudi Arabia and Russia to boost oil prices by enacting large production cuts, which is expected to severely tighten supplies in the second half of 2023.<\/p>\n

The move was also intended to offset a potential decline in Chinese demand, as the world\u2019s largest oil importer struggles to maintain a post-COVID economic recovery.<\/p>\n

Focus is now on a meeting of the (OPEC) on Friday, where Saudi Arabia- the cartel\u2019s leader- is widely expected to extend its current production cuts into September.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Goldman Sachs (NYSE:) recently hiked its outlook for crude prices this year, citing tighter supplies and a potential recovery in Chinese demand, as the country carries out more stimulus measures.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
