Oil prices rose today on signs of easing trade tensions between Washington and Beijing and falling US oil inventories to their lowest level in nearly a year.
Brent crude futures rose 23 cents, or 0.4 percent, to $ 61.04 a barrel, and West Texas Intermediate crude futures rose 28 cents, or 0.5 percent, to $ 56.03 a barrel.
The rise came after China decided to exempt US medicines to treat cancer and other products from customs duties and President Donald Trump's announcement to postpone a planned increase in customs duties on Chinese goods worth billions of dollars.
