Basra Heavy and Medium crude prices recorded a rise today, Wednesday, coinciding with the rise in oil prices in global markets. Basra Heavy crude prices rose 76 cents to reach $ 72.15, and Basra Medium crude prices rose 76 cents to reach $ 75.5. Oil prices also rose in global markets after a brief recovery in the previous session after industry data showed an unexpected increase in crude oil and gasoline inventories in the United States, which offset concerns about global oil supplies.
