International benchmarks for crude oil inched slightly higher on Monday, 13 February 2023 as investors assess the impact of Russia’s plans to reduce production outputs on the overall supply. The gains, however, were capped by concerns over the interest rates outlook that could anchor economic growth and reduce oil demand.
