In European trading, global oil prices rose, marking the second consecutive increase. US crude edged closer to its highest level of the year, while Brent surpassed $86 per barrel amidst ongoing concerns about global supply.
Ukraine's escalation of drone attacks on Russian oil refineries and the Red Sea crisis, causing shipment disruptions and threatening supplies, continue to contribute to these concerns.
