• Oil prices climbed toward a fresh, five-month high Friday as strength in global and U.S. stock markets gave an extra boost to risk appetite in commodity markets. • West Texas Intermediate futures, the U.S. oil benchmark, rose 1.1% to $64.26 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. WTI has risen the five previous weeks consecutively and is set for a sixth weekly gain, up 2% so far from last Friday’s close.
