WTI Crude Advances as Brent Futures Narrow to 9-Month Low

Bloomberg reported that West Texas Intermediate crude rose 0.7% on Nigeria clashes, as Iran talks ended without agreement.

As quoted in the market news:

Prices gained 0.7 percent after tumbling 4.7 percent in the five days ended April 5, the biggest one-week decline since September. The main rebel group in Nigeria, Africa’s largest crude-producing country, said it killed 15 security guards in an attack in the oil-producing Bayelsa state. Iran and six world powers didn’t reach an interim deal over the country’s nuclear work, which may bolster calls for more sanctions on the nation.
