Oil rally due to geopolitical reasons: Qatar's Energy Minister - Reuters

The oil market is balanced in terms of supply and demand and ''geopolitical changes'' are the reason for the rise in crude prices, Qatar's Energy Minister Mohammed al-Sada said on Sunday, according to Reuters.

He added that OPEC will take geopolitics into account at its next meeting.
