“The oil price on Tuesday rose above $60 a barrel for the first time since November, as traders bet that evidence of economic ‘green shoots’ would boost demand.
The rise in the June Nymex June West Texas Intermediate contract of $1.58 to $60.08 a barrel attracted fresh speculative buying from investors.
West Texas Intermediate has now risen almost 85 per cent from February’s low of $32.70 a barrel. ICE June Brent hit an intraday high of $58.91.
