Oil prices rose as concerns over supply disruptions persisted after attacks on Saudi Arabian energy infrastructure left the kingdom’s East-West pipeline offline and cast doubt on efforts to ease shipping risks in the Gulf, Reuters reports.
Brent crude futures rose $1.37, or 1.3 per cent, to $107.05 a barrel at 0406 GMT, while US West Texas Intermediate futures were up $1.53, or 1.51pc, at $102.92 a barrel. Both benchmarks rose more than 1pc in the previous session.
