Brent crude rose 4.3% to USD102.3 a barrel at the October 1 close, while WTI gained 2.7% to USD92.8. VnExpress links the rally to supply concerns and reports of possible additional US deployments to the Middle East. It also cites Reuters sources saying Chinese refiners had stopped product exports outside Hong Kong and Macau. Those reports added pressure to a market already facing constrained global diesel supplies.
