Crude rates
Crude oil prices went up by about 1% yesterday amid hopes that a revamp of the US-Mexico-Canada Free Trade Agreement, which came a day after the signing of the Phase 1 trade deal between the United States and China, will fuel energy demand this year.
Crude rates are still, however, on track for its second consecutive weekly decline. Brent was 3 cents higher at $64.65 by 0123 GMT, after gaining nearly 1% on Thursday. U.S. crude was up 6 cents at $58.58 a barrel, having risen more than 1% the previous session.
