Oil prices were higher today with Brent rallying to nine month highs as rising Diesel futures lifted prices and increased worries about tight supplies. Both contracts closed higher about 2% week over week. “Crude prices continue to trade on supply-side drivers. No one is doubting that OPEC+ will keep this market tight going into the winter,” Edward Moya, senior market analyst at data and analytics firm OANDA, said in a note. Heating oil futures rose about 3% today. Both crude benchmarks remained in technically overbought territory for a sixth straight day, with Brent’s settlement its highest since Nov. 16. WTI’s settlement was its highest since Sept. 6, which was its highest since November. WTI traded up $.64 or .7% to close at $87.51. Brent traded up $.73 or .8% to close at $90.65.
