The reason is US crude inventories experiencing a smaller increase than expected. The US benchmark West Texas Intermediate for May delivery jumped nearly 6 per cent, to 56.39 USD a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, the highest closing price since December 23. European benchmark Brent oil for delivery in May rose 1.89 USD to 60.32 USD a barrel in London. The gains extended a market rally into a fifth straight day.
