U.S. crude export demand jumped after the attack on Saudi facilities, with Brent's premium over U.S. crude widening to as much as $7.40 a barrel. The wider spread made U.S. crude-linked grades more attractive to buyers in Asia and Europe.
The move followed the biggest oil price jump in almost 30 years.
Stronger export demand pulls more U.S. crude abroad and tightens domestic supply, supporting WTI prices. Higher crude costs also lift energy and transport expenses for feed buyers.
