Oil at one-week high as U.S. supply concerns dominate | Reuters
Oil rose more than 1% on Monday, supported by concerns over shut output in the United States because of damage from Hurricane Ida, with analysts expecting prices to remain rangebound in a stable market over the coming months.
Brent crude rose 90 cents, or 1.2%, to $73.82 a barrel by 1049 GMT and U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude was up 99 cents, or 1.4%, at $70.71.
Brent has held between $70 and $74 a barrel over the past three weeks.
"Oil prices may not have much room to rise in the near term, but at the same time are not expected to crash soon," said Stephen Brennock of broker PVM.
