Oil prices today: Oil edges higher as US recession fears fade on jobs report

Live Mint  

Oil prices rose on May 8 as US recession worries eased on healthy jobs report for April that supported crude to climb 4 per cent before the weekend. Oil edged higher even though the US labour market data could allow the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates higher for a longer period of time. US WTI was up 4 per cent after plunging to over 7 per cent last week as a result of market sell-off on fears of economic recession and that fuel supply would decrease in the world's largest oil-consuming nation. “Oil’s rebound follows energy stocks’ comeback on Wall Street last Friday after the U.S. reported strong job data, which eased concerns about an imminent economic recession,” CMC analyst Tina Teng told news agency Reuters.
