Significant Inventory Drawdown: US EIA crude inventories decreased by 4.31M barrels in a single week, three consecutive weeks of drawdowns, supply-demand gap widening.

OPEC+ Continued Production Cuts: Maintaining voluntary reductions, supply side rigid contraction.
Weakening USD + Rate Cut Expectations: Fed rate cut expectations rising, USD index retreating, positive for commodities.
