(Reuters) -Crude prices rose for a third session on Wednesday as a halt to some exports from Iraqi Kurdistan raised concerns of tightening supplies and fears of a global banking crisis eased. Brent crude futures gained 16 cents, or 0.20%, to $78.30 a barrel by 0357 GMT, while West Texas Intermediate U.S. crude rose 35 cents, or 0.48%, to $73.69 a barrel. "Worries over reduced supply from Iraq's Kurdistan region and a relief in financial markets worried about the banking sector turmoil continued to boost investors' risk appetite," said Satoru Yoshida, a commodity analyst with Rakuten Securities.
