Oil hits mid-2015 peak but settles down

Oil prices have hit mid-2015 highs early on their first trading session for 2018, before dipping to settle slightly lower as major pipelines in Libya and the UK restart and US production soared to the highest level in more than four decades.

It was the first time since January 2014 that the two crude oil benchmarks opened a year above $US60 per barrel. Prices were buoyed by large anti-government rallies in Iran and supply cuts led by OPEC and Russia.
