US West Texas Intermediate crude oil futures were at $56.97 a barrel at 12.54am GMT, up 18c, or 0.3%, from their last settlement.“[Despite economic headwinds], we still see Brent prices averaging $70 a barrel this year and expect WTI to lag, averaging $59 a barrel in 2019,” said Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
