Crude prices rose on Wednesday after the International Energy Agency (IEA) raised demand forecast.
The IEA raised its forecast for global oil demand this year and next, based on stronger-than-expected economic growth.
The Paris-based agency expects global demand for crude to reach 86.9 million barrels a day this year, compared with its forecast last month of 86.6 million barrels a day.
