Crude oil futures settle at four-month high on Friday

02 Mar 2024 Evaluate

Crude oil futures settled at a four-month high on Friday, buoyed by the Energy Information Administration's report that oil demand surged to a four-year high in 2023 and demand will hold near that level through this year. Optimism about an interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve in June also contributed to the jump in oil prices. Investors await an OPEC+ decision on supply agreements for the second quarter. The group is likely to extend its production cuts through the second quarter and possibly the end of 2024. Escalating tensions in the Middle East also added to the rise in the crude oil prices. Concerns about tensions persist as the Israel-Hamas war show little signs of de-escalation, with both sides playing down prospects of a ceasefire.

Benchmark crude oil futures for April delivery rose $1.71 or about 2.2% to settle at $79.97 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent crude for April delivery was up by $1.71 or about 2.1% to $83.94 per barrel on London's Intercontinental Exchange.
