By DPA,
Vienna : The price for oil produced by the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) continued to rise Tuesday, climbing to $46.27, the Vienna-based cartel announced Wednesday.
One barrel (159 litres) of OPEC-produced oil rose by $2.41 from Monday.
OPEC’s basket price moved upwards for the seventh day of trading in a row. It has gained $12.91 since Dec 24 of last year.
The current spat between Russia and the Ukraine over natural gas, which has affected European gas supplies, contributed to rising oil prices, Vienna-based analysts JBC Energy said.
