    Oil futures rose on Friday amid concerns about supplies as sanctions against Iran's crude exports approach.

    Global Brent crude for November delivery rose 26 cents, or 0.33 percent, to reach $78.96 a barrel by 0647 GMT.

    West Texas Intermediate crude for delivery in October rose seven cents, or 0.10 percent, to reach $70.39 a barrel.

    OPEC is scheduled to meet with allies on Sunday in Algeria to discuss how to allocate production increases to compensate for the shortfall in Iranian supplies due to US sanctions.​
