April 17 (Reuters) - Grades broadly rose on Thursday, dealers said, even as future supply is expected to rise.
U.S. energy firms this week added oil and natural gas rigs for the first time in four weeks, energy services firm Baker Hughes BKR.O said in its closely followed report on Thursday.
The oil and gas rig count, an early indicator of future output, rose by two to 585 in the week to April 17.
Elsewhere, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) said on Wednesday it had received updated plans for Iraq, Kazakhstan and other countries to make further output cuts to compensate for pumping above quotas.
