Oil Prices Edge Higher Amid Ongoing Supply Concerns
Oil prices inched up on Friday due to ongoing concerns over crude supplies amid Middle East tensions.
Brent crude futures increased by nine cents, or 0.1 percent, reaching $87.16 a barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures rose four cents to $81.29 a barrel.
The slight gain comes after both benchmarks dropped more than 2 percent in the previous session, giving back some of their gains from a six-session rally for Brent and a five-session surge for WTI.
