Oil prices rebounded on Tuesday after a sharp fall in the previous session as investors’ appetite for risk improved, although they remained cautious amid the rapid spread of the Omicron coronavirus variant across the globe.
Brent crude settled $2.46, or 3.4%, higher at $73.98 per barrel, and U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude rose $2.51, or 3.66%, to settle at $71.12 per barrel.
“After a rough couple of days, crude prices are rebounding as much of the COVID wall of worry has been priced in,” said Edward Moya, senior analyst at OANDA.
