# U.S. crude oil rises 3% on weaker dollar, slightly improved 2024 demand outlook

> U.S. crude rose 3% on Dec 14, with January WTI settling at $71.58 and February Brent at $76.61. The gains followed a weaker dollar, an IEA forecast of 1.1 million bpd demand growth in 2024, and the Fed signalling three rate cuts for 2024.
