TOKYO, June 14 (Reuters): Oil prices rose on Monday, extending three weeks of gains that have been underpinned by an improved outlook for fuel demand as increased Covid-19 vaccinations help lift travel curbs, along with tightness in supply.
Brent crude was up 51 cents, or 0.7%, at US$73.20 a barrel by 0644 GMT, the highest since May 2019. US West Texas Intermediate gained 47 cents, or 0.7%, to US$71.38 a barrel, the highest since October 2018.
