Crude benchmarks remained range-bound this week as markets weighed OPEC+ compliance data against softer-than-expected Chinese import figures. Brent held support above the 60-dollar level while WTI tracked closely. The EIA weekly inventory report showed a modest crude draw, providing a brief intraday lift before prices settled near the week's opening levels. No major supply disruptions were reported.
