Oil rises as supply concerns persist | Reuters
Oil prices climbed for a third straight session on Friday, shrugging off concerns about global economic growth as impending European Union sanctions on Russian oil raised the prospect of tighter supply.
Brent futures rose $2.08, or 1.88%, to $112.98per barrel by 0922 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude climbed $2.00, or 1.85%, to $110.26 a barrel.
Brent and WTI are on track to rise for a second week in a row, buoyed by the EU's proposal to phase out supplies of Russian crude oil in six months and refined products by the end of 2022. It would also ban all shipping and insurance services for transporting Russian oil.
