Brent crude oil rises back to USD 60 per barrel

Around 0940 GMT, Brent crude for delivery in March stood above 60 for the first time in 3.5 weeks and was up 20 percent compared with two weeks ago, prior to an oil production cut by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and non-cartel producers from January 1.
