OPEC Cuts, Sanctions Boost Oil Prices

Description

Oil prices rose about 1 percent on Friday, posting their biggest quarterly rise in a decade. Reuters reports U.S. sanctions against Iran and Venezuela, and OPEC-led supply cuts are overshadowing concerns over a slowing global economy. The May Brent crude oil futures contract expired Friday, gaining 57 cents to settle at $68.39 a barrel--thereby marking a first-quarter gain of 27 percent. The more-active June contract settled up 48 cents, at $67.58 a barrel.
