Oil climbs close to April peak on tighter supply

Oil climbed almost 1% on Thursday, recouping losses from the previous session, supported by supply tightness owing to OPEC+ production cuts and renewed optimism on the outlook for Chinese demand and global growth.

Crude has posted four consecutive weekly gains on an expected tightening of supply because of output cuts by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies, known collectively as OPEC+, as well as some involuntary outages.

Brent crude advanced 64 cents, or 0.8%, to $83.56 a barrel by 0820 GMT while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude rose 74 cents, or 0.9%, to $79.52. Intra-day peaks for both contracts were near their highest since April 19.

Wildcat Petroleum plc (LON:WCAT) was incorporated in early 2020, with plans to work and invest in the upstream sector of the petroleum industry – namely exploration, appraisal, development and production of oil and gas.
