Brent crude futures increased by 0.8% to $72.57 per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate rose by 1.3% to $70.11, though both recorded weekly losses of 10.6%. Despite the tensions, Saudi Aramco resumed oil loading at Ras Tanura, with increased production and exports ahead of reaching a temporary deal.
