LONDON (AFP) -World oil prices have rallied, with the price of Brent crude pushing back above 53 dollars per barrel amid higher demand for heating fuel owing to cold weather in the United States.

In London, the price of Brent North Sea crude for March delivery rose 35 cents to 53.05 dollars per barrel in electronic trading Tuesday.

New York’s main oil futures contract, light sweet crude for delivery in March, climbed 34 cents to 52.92 dollars per barrel in electronic deals.

Crude futures had closed lower on Monday as traders said that despite the colder weather, US energy inventories remained ample thus reducing supply concerns.
