Oil prices rose in Asian trading on Wednesday on expectations major producers will maintain output cuts at a meeting this Sunday, and that fuel consumption should begin rising with the start of the peak summer demand season. Brent crude futures for July delivery added 15 cents, or 0.2%, to $84.37 a barrel. US West Texas Intermediate futures for July climbed 25 cents, or 0.3%, to $80.08.
