Singapore, Aug. 21 (BNA): Oil prices rose on Monday as global supply is tightening with lower exports, offsetting nagging concerns about global demand growth amid high interest rates.
Brent crude climbed 61 cents to $85.41 a barrel by 0649 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was at $81.88 a barrel, up 63 cents. The September WTI contract expires on Tuesday and the more active October contract gained 56 cents to $81.22 a barrel, Reuters reported.
