Front-month North Sea Brent crude-oil futures were up 0.7% at $73.13 a barrel midday.

Additionally, investors eyed Wall Street futures flashing green, and higher closes overnight on Asian exchanges.

In economic news, the consumer confidence index in the euro area in June rose to negative 17.7 from negative 19 in month prior, and to negative 17 from negative 18.2 in the broader European Union, reported the European Commission.
