Oil may reach $60 by year-end says Kuwait minister
KUWAIT, February 11, 2015
Kuwait's oil minister expects crude prices to rise in the second half of 2015, possibly to $60 a barrel by year-end, local newspaper Al-Rai cited him as saying on Wednesday.
The recent rebound in oil prices was due to low supplies from high-cost producers and an improvement in the growth rates of the global economy, Oil Minister Ali Al-Omair told the paper.
Brent crude held steady above $56 a barrel on Wednesday and US crude briefly rose more than $1, after a smaller-than-expected rise in US crude stocks was viewed by some as a sign that a supply glut was starting to abate. - Reuters
