Oil prices are continuing their upward trajectory on Friday and are on track for a fourth consecutive monthly gain. The increase came after a number of tankers were reported to have hit mines in the Strait of Hormuz, highlighting ongoing supply risks as the US-Israel conflict with Iran entered its eighth month.

Brent crude futures for December gained $1.20, or 1.04 percent, to reach $116.08 a barrel as of 03:23 GMT, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures went up $1.37, or 1.34 percent, to $103.37 a barrel.

For the month, Brent was on course to finish nearly 11 percent higher, while WTI was heading for a 14 percent jump.
