In the global market, oil prices edged higher on Wednesday on the prospects for stronger global economic growth amid increased COVID-19 vaccinations and a report that crude inventories in the United States, the world’s biggest fuel consumer, fell. But optimism about talks between the United States and Iran over Iran’s nuclear programme and an impending increase in supply by major oil producers capped gains, Reuters reported earlier today.
Brent crude futures for June rose by 16 cents (0.3 per cent) to $62.90 a barrel by 0657 GMT while US West Texas Intermediate crude for May was up 14 cents (0.2 per cent) to $59.47, the report said.
