A slight gain in crude oil prices was made Thursday as anxious investors awaited Friday’s U.S. jobs report—the gain attributed still from Wednesday’s OPEC+ decision to cut crude production by 2 million barrels a day.
West Texas Intermediate crude for November delivery went up about 1% on a 69 cent-increase to finish the day at $88.45 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Global benchmark Brent crude for December delivery increased $1.05 or nearly 2% to $94.42 a barrel on ICE Futures Europe.
