Crude oil futures settle higher on Thursday

09 Jan 2026 Evaluate

Crude oil futures ended sharply higher on Thursday, after falling for two days, as data showing a decline in the U.S. crude inventories allayed global oversupply concerns and supported prices. The data from American Petroleum Institute also revealed that U.S. crude oil inventories fell by 2.8 million barrels for the week ending January 2, reversing the 1.7-million-barrel build from the week before. However, the upward momentum was blocked due to geopolitical escalations. Investors took a cautious approach ahead of U.S. non-farm payroll data slated to be released on Friday which will shed light on the strength of the U.S. labor market. 

Benchmark crude oil futures for February delivery rose $1.77 or 3.16% to settle at $57.76 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent crude for March delivery increased $2.03 or 3.38% to settle at $61.99 a barrel on London's Intercontinental Exchange.
