Fundamental Development Oil was up on Wednesday morning in Asia, with investors continuing to digest a draw down in U.S. crude supply that raised supply concerns. Brent oil futures rose 1.01% to $106.03 and WTI futures jumped 1.14% to $103.58. The gains came after the European Union said on Tuesday that it is mapping out fresh sanctions against Russia. The sanctions, which come in response to Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, will target Russian crude supply. Russia is the second-largest crude oil exporter globally. Tuesday’s U.S. Crude oil supply data from the American Petroleum Institute showed a draw of 3.479 million barrels for the week ended Apr. 28.
