Crude Oil prices advanced 2.60% against the USD for the 24 hour period ending 23:00GMT, closing at 53.30. However, during the day, oil prices had fallen sharply, after Iran reached a historic long-awaited nuclear deal with the Western powers, pouring supply in the already overflowing global oil market.
Separately, the American Petroleum Institute (API) showed that US crude oil inventories eased by 7.3 million barrels last week.
In the Asian session, at GMT0300, the pair is trading at 53.24, with the oil trading 0.11% lower from yesterday’s close.
