Crude oil futures end significantly higher on Friday

06 Nov 2021 Evaluate

Rebounding a day after a drop to the lowest price since October, crude oil futures ended significantly higher on Friday as traders continued to digest news that OPEC and its allies decided on Thursday to stick with a plan to raise oil output modestly and gradually. Oil prices may also have benefited from upbeat U.S. jobs data, which may had generated optimism about the outlook for demand. The Labor Department said non-farm payroll employment surged up by 531,000 jobs in October after climbing by an upwardly revised 312,000 jobs in September.

Benchmark crude oil futures for December delivery rose $2.46 or 3.1 percent to settle at $81.27 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent crude for January delivery added $2.20 or 2.7 percent to settle at $82.74 a barrel on London's Intercontinental Exchange.
