Crude market is ready to post its biggest first-quarter gain since 2009. Oil prices surged on Friday supported by ongoing supply cuts led by OPEC and US sanctions on Iran and Venezuela. WTI went up 0.4%, to $59.56 per barrel. Brent increased by 0.4%, to $68.12 per barrel. The second quarter of 2009 was the last best performance of both the futures where they gained about 40%.
