Oil continues to rise as vaccine news boost optimism for demand recovery

WTI oil rises again above $40 barrier on Tuesday, following Monday’s 6.6% rally (the biggest one-day advance since May 5) when bulls spiked to $41.32 (the highest since Oct 21) but failed to close above psychological $40 level (also daily cloud top).
Oil prices skyrocketed on Monday after Covid-19 vaccine news strongly boosted hopes for demand recovery, additionally obstructed by fresh lockdowns across the Europe.
