Crude oil futures settled higher on Thursday amid uncertainty over the end of US-Iran war.

Meanwhile, the Energy Information Administration released a report showed US crude inventories rose by 6.926 million barrels to 456.2 million barrels in the week ended March 20, compared with market expectations for a 0.5 million-barrel rise and marking the fifth consecutive weekly increase.
