# Oil Ekes Out a Weekly Gain Amid Libya and Ecuador Export Woes - Bloomberg

> Oil rose in thin trading ahead of the US holiday weekend as export disruptions in Libya added to supply concerns. WTI posted a slight weekly gain after two weekly declines. OPEC output fell by 120,000 bpd in June, a second straight monthly decline, and Libyan exports are about one-third of last year's level after shipments from two major ports were suspended.

## Why it matters

Lost Libyan barrels and falling OPEC output tighten global crude supply, which supports energy prices. Higher diesel and fuel costs raise freight and processing expenses for feed producers.
