TEHRAN, Apr. 08 (Shana) -- Iran will be recovering over half a million barrels per day of crude oil by late-June 2017, a senior Iranian oil official said.
Oil prices shot up after the U.S. launched a cruise missile attack against Syria. West Texas Intermediate climbed as much as 2.4 percent to a one-month high of $52.94 a barrel in New York, with Brent crude up 2.2 percent in London. The price spike from potential short-squeezes due to geopolitical risks may prove temporary as long as the military action is well-contained, as Syria is no longer a significant oil producer, according to Nomura Holdings Inc.
Oil hit a one-month high near $55 a barrel on Wednesday as a fall in U.S. crude inventories raised hopes OPEC-led supply cuts were clearing a glut, while an outage at the largest UK North Sea oilfield lent support.
