Oil prices inch higher as U.S. fuel inventories fall, dollar weakens


OIL prices recovered slightly on Wednesday as data pointed to firm fuel demand in the United States, providing respite after a 5% drop a day earlier on fear of demand suffering from increased China COVID-19 curbs and central bank interest rate hikes.

U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures jumped 85 cents, or 0.9%, to $92.49 a barrel at 0456 GMT, after sliding $5.37 in the previous session driven by recession fears.
