US benchmark oil contract rises 5%
The main U.S. oil contract, WTI, jumped more than five percent in trading on Friday as supply concerns outweighed recession worries, and as traders began to look ahead to a meeting next week of OPEC+ nations on production.
Around 1430 GMT, WTI was up 5.1 percent to $101.29, while the main international contract, Brent, climbed 3.1 percent to $110.43.
