In the quiet hours before data speaks, oil markets moved with the careful patience of those who know that numbers, not sentiment, will soon set the terms. On Tuesday, West Texas Intermediate and Brent crude each edged modestly higher as traders positioned ahead of the American Petroleum Institute's inventory report — a ritual of anticipation that reminds us how much of modern commerce is the art of waiting for information. The small gains reflected not conviction, but readiness: a market holding its breath before the weekly accounting of what America holds in its tanks.
