WTI settles above $53

Crude oil prices recorded strong gains on Monday and refreshed its monthly top with the barrel of West Texas Intermediate settling at $53.14 recording a 1.72% gain on the day.

News of an another shutdown at Libya's largest oilfield over the weekend suggested that the supply output is going suffer further and supported the prices as the trading week went under way. Besides, geopolitical tensions in Syria remain high, raising concerns over a potential negative impact on neighboring producers such as Iran, Iraq and Saudi Arabia.
