Last week, both brands posted their biggest weekly losses in three months: Brent fell by more than 7% and WTI by 6.8% as investors weighed weak US employment data and the possible timing of an interest rate cut by the US Federal Reserve.
The prospects for a ceasefire in Gaza faded as Hamas reiterated its demand for a cessation of hostilities in exchange for the release of hostages, and Israel seemed ready to launch a long-overdue offensive in southern Gaza.

Oil prices were also supported by Saudi Arabia's decision to raise official selling prices for its oil sold in Asia, Northwest Europe, and the Mediterranean in June, signaling expectations of strong demand this summer.
