Sept 19 (Reuters) - Oil prices rose to 10-month highs on Tuesday as weak U.S. shale output compounded supply concerns from extended production cuts by Saudi Arabia and Russia. Global benchmark Brent crude futures were up 28 cents at $94.71 a barrel by 1:02 p.m. EDT (1702 GMT), having hit a session peak of $95.96 a barrel, their highest since November. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures were up 22 cents at $91.70 after earlier reaching $93.74 a barrel, also the highest since November.
Note
If the market moves lower on lower inventories at 4:30 EDT then that would be a news failure confirmed. Even without it the price action today is setting up to be a reversal day at this rate.
