Brent crude futures climbed 79 cents to $90.53 a barrel by 0900 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures rose 92 cents to $85.94
Oil rose on Friday as heightened tensions in the Middle East raised the risk of supply disruptions from the oil-producing region, though the market is set for a weekly loss on expectations of fewer U.S. interest rate cuts this year.
“As we have seen on numerous occasions since December, the risk of a geopolitical event occurring during the weekend is once again lifting the risk premium ahead of the weekend only to drop again on Monday,” said Saxo Bank’s Ole Hansen. Prices briefly pared gains after the International Energy Agency cut its forecast for 2024 world oil demand growth and predicted a further slowdown in 2025. Oil was set for a weekly fall as Brent and WTI headed for a roughly 1 per cent decline.
ING analysts said they expect oil’s rally to retreat unless there is a further escalation in the Middle East or supply disruptions.
