The main US oil contract soared more than five percent in trading Tuesday on increased concerns over tight supplies as a result of the Middle East conflict.

West Texas Intermediate surged 5.7 percent to $109.60 per barrel.

The main international benchmark, Brent North Sea crude, jumped 2.0 percent to $111.69 per barrel.
