# Oil prices rebound and Brent jumps 1.6%, passing $96 again

> Oil prices rose on November 5 after three consecutive sessions of declines, with Brent up about 1.6% to $96.17 a barrel. Analysts said the Republican midterm losses may reduce the odds of escalation in the US-Israeli war against Iran, and JP Morgan said resumed Gulf supply has pushed the market into surplus.
