Additionally, weak April retail sales data further fueled optimism for cooling inflation ahead.
Oil prices rose in Asian trading on Thursday, building on gains from the previous session, driven by a softer-than-expected US consumer inflation report.
Moreover, a larger-than-expected decline in US inventories strengthened bets on tighter global supplies in the coming months.
