Fundamental Development Oil was up on Wednesday morning in Asia, as investors await US and China economic data. Brent oil futures rose 1.99% to $104.36 and crude oil WTI futures jumped 2.27% to $101.96. Investors will be keeping an eye on China’s April factory gate prices and the US consumer –price index.
