Oil extended gains after Saudi Arabia signaled confidence in demand with a bigger-than-expected price increase of its crude for Asia. West Texas Intermediate traded near $120 a barrel after earlier rising to the highest level in almost three months. Saudi Arabia boosted its official selling prices for Asian customers in July as China — the world’s top crude importer — cautiously emerges from virus lockdowns that have strained its economy.
last week agreed to accelerate output following repeated calls by the US to pump more. The cartel said it would add 648,000 barrels a day for July and August, about 50% more than the increases seen in recent months. However, the group has struggled recently to meet its supply targets, raising doubts about whether it would be able to meet the goal. The fuel market has also tightened considerably, just as the peak period for US demand kicks off with the summer driving season.
