Thursday brought gains for crude oil and Oklahoma energy stocks

Crude oil prices and Oklahoma energy stocks recorded moderate gains on Thursday as investors are still wondering about the impact of a possible OPEC+ output increase, a weaker U.S.dollar and conflicting U.S. tariff signals.

Most Oklahoma energy stocks recorded gains while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude had a 52 cent or 0.8% boost to settle at $62.79 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Global benchmark Brent crude futures ended up 43 cents or 0.7% and finished the day’s trading at $66.55 a barrel.

Natural gas prices finished down 9 cents or 0.50% at $3.02 per MMBtu.

With only a handful of Oklahoma energy stocks finishing on the downside Thursday, others had moderate gains with two firms seeing 3% and 4% increases.
