US drillers add oil and gas rigs for first time in three weeks, Baker Hughes says

U.S. energy firms increased the number of operating oil and natural gas rigs this week — the first rise in three weeks — according to Baker Hughes. The move signals a modest uptick in U.S. drilling activity that could slightly influence near-term supply expectations and energy sector positioning, though impact is likely limited unless the trend continues.
