In the international scenario, crude prices gained amidst dip in the inventory of oil from Saudi Arabia for the first time in the last four weeks. Saudi's oil exports have declined by 277,000 barrels per day (bpd) which is under 7 million bpd. The fall in U.S. oil inventories also supported rising prices.
In the global markets, crude benchmark - Brent was seen trading at $71.97 per barrel, up by 0.49% and West Texas Intermediate stood at $64.07 per barrel during today's trade session.
Data related to strong retail sales has helped the dollar to weigh on crude futures. A strong dollar makes oil more expensive for non-holders of U.S. currencies.
