According to Emirates News Agency, Brent futures surged US$3.22 to US$76.45 per barrel, and West Texas Intermediate rose US$3.07 to US$74.84 per barrel, reported Kuwait News Agency.
The changes in oil prices reflect ongoing fluctuations in the global oil market, influenced by supply and demand dynamics.

The rise in prices could affect various sectors reliant on oil, from transportation to manufacturing, and influence economic policies in oil-producing countries.
