The U.S. Energy Department's latest inventory report showed a lower-than-expected increase in natural gas supplies. Despite this bullish data, futures ended the week lower due to worries over the commodity’s immediate consumption.

Wall Street stocks mostly rose early Tuesday as markets sought to pivot from the prior session's losses and oil prices retreated.

Oil futures traded lower on Wednesday after the Energy Information Administration reported that U.S. commercial crude inventories climbed by 5.8 million barrels for the week that ended Oct. 4, up a second week in a row.
