But with a moderate yield of positive data on the stocks of oil in the States, where, instead of the expected 1.7 million barrels of crude oil reserves decline decreased to 3.874 million, quotes, black gold again went to the growth. Traditionally, in recent days against the backdrop of pressure on the dollar, investors are buying raw materials. It was the exception and the trading session Wednesday.
