Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>The military coup in Gabon, a member of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), on Wednesday pushed oil prices slightly upwards while creating supply risks.<\/p>\n

The international benchmark Brent crude was up more than 0.3% at around $85.80 per barrel at 1150 GMT, while the American benchmark West Texas Intermediate (WTI) was traded at around $81.5, rising 0.4%.<\/p>\n

A group of senior Gabonese army officers appeared on national television early Wednesday and announced that they had seized power.<\/p>\n

The move came shortly after the Gabonese Election Center confirmed that incumbent President Ali Bongo officially won a third term with 64.27% of the votes.<\/p>\n

The Central African country produces 190,000 barrels of oil a day, and no coup-related disruption reported yet to Gabon’s oil output.<\/p>\n

Oil prices have been rising for the fifth consecutive session as US crude inventories fell by 11.5 million barrels last week.<\/p>\n

Late Tuesday, the American Petroleum Institute (API) announced that it estimated US crude oil inventories to fall by 11.5 million barrels, compared to the market’s expectation of a 2.9 million-barrel drop.<\/p>\n
