Oil prices edged up in early Asia amid positive sentiment driven by overnight gains on Wall Street. However, "supply tensions should again surpass their summer seasonal strength as under the surface, several bearish factors are gearing up for the end of the third quarter," Francesco Martoccia of Citi Research said in a research report.
These factors include global refinery production set to fall by more than 1.5 million barrels per day between August and September, the analyst said. Front-month WTI crude futures were up 0.2% at $65.37/bbl; front-month Brent crude futures were up 0.2% at $67.84/bbl. (alg)
