Oil on the boil

Oil prices edged higher on Thursday to their highest in more than two months, after US President Donald Trump said US personnel were being moved out of the Middle East, which raised fear that escalating tensions with Iran could disrupt supply.

Crude oil prices rose more than 4% on Wednesday. Brent crude futures settled $2.90, or 4.34%, higher at $69.77 a barrel. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude gained $3.17, or 4.88%, to $68.15. Both Brent and WTI reached their highest since early April.

Trump on Wednesday said US personnel were being moved out of the Middle East because "it could be a dangerous place", adding that the United States would not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon.

Reuters reported earlier on Wednesday that the US was preparing a partial evacuation of its Iraqi embassy and will allow military dependents to leave locations around the Middle East due to heightened security risks in the region.
