Oil rises due to the acceleration of production cuts in response to the collapse in demand

Oil prices rose strongly to continue their recovery after major crude producing countries said they would accelerate planned production cuts in order to address a sharp collapse in demand from the Corona pandemic.

Reuters reported that Brent crude rose 96 cents, or 4.7 percent, to settle the settlement price at 21.33 $ a barrel.

West Texas Intermediate jumped 2.72$, or 19.7 percent, to close at 16.50 $.
