In addition, expectation for demand recovery in the second half of the year continue to provide support to crude prices.

Meanwhile, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures for July delivery finished higher by $2.02, or 2.82%, at $73.66 per barrel. This is the highest settlement level for the NYMEX futures since October 9, 2018.

This also marked the largest rise for both the global and U.S. benchmark crude futures since May 24.
