SINGAPORE: Oil prices rose on Thursday, reversing declines in the previous three sessions, buoyed by stronger-than-expected economic data from the world's top oil consumers and signs of easing trade tensions.

Brent crude futures rose 24 cents, or 0.35%, to $68.76 a barrel at 0457 GMT. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures were up 33 cents, or 0.5%, at $66.71. Both benchmarks fell more than 0.2% in the previous session.
