Oil prices rose amid expectations of supply cuts from OPEC, although record US production dragged.
US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil futures were at $56.76 per barrel, up 0.53 percent, from their last settlement.
Brent crude oil futures were up 0.63 percent, at $67.04 per barrel.
Prices were mainly supported by expectations the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) would start withholding supply soon, fearing a renewed rout such as in 2014 when prices crashed under the weight of oversupply. Source: Reuters.
