Crude oil prices rose for the second consecutive session in mid-European trading on Tuesday, September 2, benefiting from rising supply concerns after Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil facilities, which could cause the loss of more than 1.1 million barrels per day, or 17% of Russia’s oil capacity, according to a Reuters report. Ahead of Wednesday’s inventory figures from the American Petroleum Institute, which were postponed due to the Labor Day holiday on Monday, US crude (NYMEX) rose by about $2.72, trading at $65.76 a barrel, while Brent crude traded at $69.22 a barrel, up about 1.57%.
