Crude oil prices rose by about 5 percent on Friday, their largest hike in 1-1/2 months, as a constant U.S. dollar and a bigger than expected decline in U.S. oil rigs in operation compensated a fresh rush of bullish bets. Brent crude closed at $65.56 a barrel, up $2.98, or 4.8 percent, on the day. It was flat on the week, while for the month, it declined by 2 percent. U.S. crude has increased by as much as $4 a barrel after touching a one-month low just a day ago. WTI crude closed at $60.30, up $2.62, or 4.5 percent, on the day, and up about 1 percent on both the week and month.
