The front-month Brent crude price settled at its highest level since 6 March on Tuesday, after gaining 2.4% to hit USD 44.32/barrel. US benchmark WTI followed suit, gaining 2.7% to settle above USD 41/barrel for the first time since 15 July. The gains were attributed to signs of an economic recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic, with the European Union announcing a major stimulus package.
