TOKYO: Oil prices rose on Friday, staging a partial recovery after OPEC+ producers rebuffed a U.S. call to raise supply and instead maintained plans for a gradual return of output halted by the coronavirus pandemic.
Brent crude rose 53 cents or 0.7% to $81.07 a barrel by around 0805 GMT, after falling nearly 2% on Thursday. U.S. oil gained 96 cents or 1.2% to $79.77 a barrel, having declined 2.5% in the previous session.
