Baker Hughes reported U.S. oil rigs rose by 7 last week to 452, up 30 YoY and up
45 since the U.S.-Iran conflict began, citing firmer oil prices as the driver.
The EIA says higher drilling activity is expected to lift U.S. crude output from
13.8 mln bpd this year to 14.0 mln bpd next year. U.S. natural-gas rigs were
unchanged for a second week at 126, up 9 YoY.
