Crude prices remained over 4 percent higher than they were on Tuesday. On Thursday prices have escalated as Kuwait gave its backing for an extension of OPEC production cuts in an attempt to reduce global oversupply.
  • Market players said that oil prices will remain on higher note as OPEC and non-OPEC oil producing giants like Russia are likely to continue their production cut deal seeking to drive prices higher.

Moreover some players have said that there is a tremendous amount of stock in the markets and to expect a major increase in the price is not very realistic
