Oil prices have been supported by stronger-than-expected demand fueled by the US recovery, worldwide economic growth on one side, supply cuts by OPEC and Russia on the other and a series of global events that have stroked geopolitical tension.
There are a number of factors that could push oil prices higher, including supply disruptions from Iran, which faces the threat of renewed U.S. sanctions, and Venezuela, where economic crisis may hamper its ability to pump oil.
Brent surpassed the technical target of $67 and trading at the resistance zone of around $70. A small correction to $64 may be around the corner.
