NEW YORK, July 26 (Reuters) - U.S. and Brent crude oil
futures rose more than a dollar on Tuesday, extending gains as
a weaker dollar encouraged buying of riskier assets.
On the New York Mercantile Exchange, U.S. crude for
September delivery was up $1.28, or 1.29 percent, at
$100.48 a barrel, after hitting a session high of $100.62, the
highest since June 10's intraday high of $102.15.
In London, ICE Brent for September delivery was up
$1, or 0.85 percent, at $118.94, after climbing to a session
high of $119.05, the highest since July 21's intraday high of
$119.25.
