The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) said Wednesday that its oil price rose to 84.92 dollars a day earlier, DPA reported.
The cartel's basket price inched up 0.30 dollars per barrel (159 litres) on Tuesday, as the Paris-based International Energy Agency raised its long-term forecasts for oil prices.
OPEC oil currently stands at its highest level since October 2008.
