Petrol, Diesel Price Outlook – Oil prices settled higher on Wednesday as a drop in U.S. crude stockpiles reinforced expectations of improving demand ahead of the peak summer driving season, offsetting worries that a possible return of Iranian supply would cause a glut, Reuters reported.

Brent settled up 16 cents, or 0.3 per cent, to USD 68.87 a barrel and US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude settled up 14 cents, or 0.2 per cent, at USD 66.21 a barrel.

Outlook for crude oil remains positive globally and is expected to take a rise, Expert Anuj Gupta, Vice President (VP), Commodity and Currency Research at IIFL Securities opines.   

He expects that WTI crude could test levels around USD 70 while the Brent Crude price could go up to USD 73 in near to immediate term. This will have an impact on the petrol and Diesel prices, taking it further up, he added.
