Brent oil hits six-month high above $75 per barrel
LONDON, April 25, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Brent North Sea crude hit a six-month
high above $75 per barrel Thursday on supply concerns that have been worsened
by the United States tightening the screw on sanctions-hit Iran.
Brent for delivery in June jumped to $75.35 per barrel, up 78 cents from
Wednesday’s close. Oil’s other main contract, WTI, won 27 cents to $66.16 per
barrel, also a six-month peak.
