Brent futures were up 52 cents at $93.82 a barrel by 0933 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures rose 73 cents to $90.36

Oil prices rose on Friday as renewed global supply concerns from Russia’s fuel export ban counteracted demand fears driven by macroeconomic headwinds and high interest rates.

Both benchmarks were on track for a small weekly drop after gaining more than 10 per cent in the previous three weeks amid concerns about tight global supply as the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies maintain production cuts. Russia’s Transneft suspended deliveries of diesel to the key Baltic and Black Sea terminals of Primorsk and Novorossiysk on Friday, state media agency Tass said.

The euro zone economy is likely to contract in the third quarter, according to Purchasing Managers’ Index data released on Friday.
