This is the eighth straight week of increases, and marks the longest upward streak since early 2017. However, crude prices rose 0.4% Thursday as reports on Wednesday that OPEC and its partners were discussing a 1.4 million-barrels-per-day cut in output. The EIA data also showed that gasoline supplies fell by 1.4 million barrels compared to expectations for a draw of 1.48 million barrels.
