The easing of concerns about the Omicron coronavirus variant and its impact on global fuel demand resulted in an extended rally of crude oil prices as they settled above $70 on Tuesday for the first time in two weeks. Oklahoma energy stocks had another strong day too.

Prices rose by more than 3% and extended the rebound seen on Monday.

West Texas Intermediate crude for January delivery rose $2.56 or 3.68% to finish at $72.05 a barrel in trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Global benchmark Brent crude finished up $2.15 or 2.94% at $75.23 a barrel on ICE Futures Europe.

Natural gas prices rose as well, going up 5 cents at $3.71 for a 1.39% gain.

The rally extended to Oklahoma energy stocks including Laredo Petroleum with a strong 13% gain for the day. Devon Energy recorded 7% and 6% gains were seen at Chesapeake Energy, Ovintiv, Continental Resources and SandRidge Energy.
