Crude oil prices, which have been gaining for four straight weeks, started this week on a positive note as well.
Oil prices rose in early trade on Monday with US fuel demand, tight supply, and a slightly weaker US dollar supporting the market, as Shanghai prepares to reopen after a two-month lockdown fuelled worries about a sharp slowdown in growth. From June 1, more demand will be coming back for China.
The European Union’s efforts toward Russia’s oil embargo have also kept the prices above USD 110 per barrel.
