Oil
prices rose on Thursday over a potential breakthrough in the US-China
trade war and OPEC efforts to constrain supply amid thin trading in
markets.
Brent crude was up 0.4% at $67.48/bbl. West Texas Intermediate was up 0.4% at $61.36/bbl.
US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he and Chinese President Xi Jinping will have a signing ceremony for the "Phase 1" agreement, Reuters reported.
Supply cuts by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and allies have also supported prices. OPEC+ recently agreed to extend and raise output cuts of as much as 2.1mn barrels per day (bpd).
