Oil prices rose in the international market on Thursday, following an unexpected drop in the U.S. crude stocks. Brent crude futures were up 5.7%, to $30.86 a barrel, while the WTI crude futures edged 6.3% higher, to $26.89 a barrel. Further gains were capped by both a bleak outlook for the world’s no. 1 economy as the coronavirus pandemic crushes fuel demand and concern over a potential second wave of cases.
