For the week, the price of WTI crude oil rose 1.1 percent. Weekly increase was largely supported by the optimism of the OPEC and non-OPEC producers such as Russia to cut production, and the level of compliance of participants increases. The increase was also supported by the US weekly inventories though rising, but still below analysts’ expectations.

Bookkeeping ahead of the weekend and ahead of the upcoming expiration February 28 in Brent for April delivery, heating oil for delivery in March, and March RBOB gasoline, also weighed on prices, analysts and traders said.
