Oil Surges on Drop in U.S. Supply

The video discusses the recent 5% surge in WTI oil prices, driven by a significant drop in US oil inventories, which fell by 4.9 million barrels. This decline is attributed to reduced US production and refineries resuming operations post-maintenance. The video also covers the upcoming April 17th meeting in Doha, where major oil producers, including Saudi Arabia and Russia, will discuss freezing output at January levels. Iran's return to the market post-sanctions complicates these talks, as they aim to increase production. The outcome of these discussions remains uncertain, with varying stances from different countries.
