Oil Hits 5-Month High

Oil prices hit a five-month high above US$ 71 a barrel on Tuesday, supported by concern that violence in Libya could further tighten supply.

Supply curbs led by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) have underpinned a more than 30% rally this year for Brent crude, despite downward pressure from fears of an economic slowdown and weaker demand.

Russia signaled on Monday it wanted to raise output when it meets with OPEC because of falling stockpiles.

On Tuesday, Energy Minister Alexander Novak said there would be no need to extend the supply-curbing deal if the market was expected to be balanced in the second half of the year.

US sanctions on Iran and Venezuela have deepened the OPEC supply cut and concern has grown this week about the stability of Libyan output. The OPEC member pumps around 1.1 million barrels per day (bpd), just over 1%of global supply.

Stay tuned for more updates from this space.
