Crude oil prices retreated on Thursday, with MCX September futures down 0.6% at ₹5583 per barrel and WTI trading lower by 0.8% at $63.63. Market participants now await the PCE price index, the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge, for fresh policy direction. Despite the decline, losses were cushioned by a notable draw in US inventories, with crude stockpiles falling by 2.39 million barrels and Cushing levels down 838,000 barrels, reflecting firm underlying demand ahead of Labor Day. Additionally, heightened Russia-Ukraine hostilities targeting energy infrastructure and expectations of a potential Fed rate cut offered partial support.
