Daily: Oil prices register the best quarter since mid 2015, up over 10%
Crude oil prices boosted over 10% in March, the best quarter since mid-2015. Some analysts said that the hike could vanish soon as an output freeze plan by major crude exporters will fail to ease worries of an oversupply. A weak dollar and figures showing a drawdown in crude inventories at the U.S. futures delivery hub helped oil settle steady to firmer in Thursday's session. Brent crude for May delivery, which expired as the front-month contract, rose 34 cents, or 0.8 percent, to close at $39.60 a barrel. Brent crude for June delivery boosted 0.7 percent to settle at $40.33. U.S. crude futures WTI settled at $38.34, up 2 cents on the day, increasing 14 percent in March and 4 percent in the quarter, its largest quarterly gain since June 2015.
