Crude oil futures end higher on Monday

29 Sep 2020 Evaluate

Crude oil futures ended higher on Monday recouping some of last week’s losses, but concerns that the rise in coronavirus cases throughout the globe will lead to weaker energy demand has grown. However, contributing to support to oil prices was a possible disruption to oil output in Norway. The Norwegian Oil and Gas Association said oil firms in Norway plan to close down 22% of the country’s oil-and-gas output, or 900,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, if oil workers go on strike.

Crude oil futures for November rose 35 cents or 0.9 percent to settle at $40.60 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. November Brent crude gained 51 cents or 1.2 percent to settle at $42.43 a barrel on London's Intercontinental Exchange.
