Oil Prices Driven Up By Futures Bets, But Market Remains Bloated

Oil prices rose on Monday as futures traders bet the market may have bottomed after a recent steep fall, even as physical markets remain bloated by oversupply, especially from a relentless rise in U.S. drilling. Brent crude futures were trading at $48.41 per barrel at 0246 GMT, up 26 cents, or 0.5 percent, from their last close.

U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were at $46.07 per barrel, up 24 cents, or 0.5 percent. The price rises came on the back of speculative traders upping their investment into crude futures, by taking on large volumes of long positions, which would profit from a further price rise.
