While slow growth in the global economy forestalled gains, oil prices still remained in close quarters with year highs achieved day before. Benchmark Brent crude futures were priced at $67.14 per barrel. US WTI crude oil futures climbed 0.3% and were traded at $57.33 per barrel. Despite the concerns about the slowdown in economic growth, supply cuts led by OPEC and US sanctions have kept oil prices on a high tide this year.
