Just like global indices, international crude oil prices also continue to soar high with US crude touching the $80 mark for the first time since November 2023. US WTI is trading at $79.97 a barrel while Brent is trading 0.16 per cent higher at 83.69. The rise in oil prices comes as OPEC+ members guided by its leaders, Saudi Arabia and Russia, will extend voluntary cuts till June this year.
