Oil prices climbed in Asia trading on Friday, rebounding from previous declines amid supply tightness and geopolitical tensions, even though weakened demand in the US has cast a shadow on the market this week, according to Reuters.
Brent crude futures rose $1.61, or 1.6 percent, to $105.47 a barrel by 0630 GMT, while US West Texas Intermediate crude futures gained $1.43, or 1.5 percent, to $97.78 a barrel.
“Things are still negative on the economic front, but we are still in a structural shortfall for prompt oil and that means physical buyers will be there to support dips knowing the uncertainty of what lies ahead on the geopolitical front,” said Stephen Innes, managing partner at SPI Asset Management.
