Tokyo: Oil prices rose on Wednesday, with US crude gaining 1 per cent after an industry report showed stockpiles in the United States, the world’s biggest oil user, fell more than expected, easing worries about economic growth due to the China-US trade war.
Brent crude futures climbed 42 cents, or 0.7 per cent, to 59.93 a barrel by 0220 GMT. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures gained 56 cents, or 1 per cent, to USD 55.49 a barrel.
