Oil extended gains on Tuesday on supply disruptions and as COVID restrictions eased in China, the world’s largest crude importer.
Brent crude futures were up 90 cents, or 1.15%, to $78.89 per barrel by 1020 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures gained 67 cents, or 0.92%, to $73.84.
WTI hit a low of $70.25 on Monday, close to the $70 theoretical buyback price at which U.S. President Joe Biden aimed to replenish U.S. crude stocks. This offered support on Tuesday.
