Oil prices rise in early Asian trading

Oil markets regained some of their gains in early Asian trading, today, Friday, while concerns about a banking crisis in the United States linked to the debt ceiling limited gains.

Brent crude futures rose 36 cents, or 0.5 percent, to 75.34 dollars a barrel, and US crude futures rose 41 cents, or 0.6 percent, to 71.28 dollars.

The two crude oil recovered from losses that ranged between three and four percent during the past two sessions.
