Oil prices rose on Tuesday, with Brent gaining for a fourth consecutive session, as the prospect of extra supply coming to the market soon from Iran faded with talks dragging on over the United States rejoining a nuclear agreement with Tehran, APA reports quoting Reuters.

Brent crude was up by 43 cents, or 0.6%, at $73.29 a barrel by 0134 GMT, having risen 0.2% on Monday. U.S. oil gained 41 cents, or 0.6%, to $71.29 a barrel, having slipped 3 cents in the previous session.
