Oil prices rebound more than 1% on Monday after it posted seven-days consecutive losses as concerns about weakening demand resurfaced following recent flare-ups of Delta variant coronavirus.
Brent, the global benchmark, surged 1.79% to USD66.35 per barrel on midday Monday, while West Texas Intermediate added 1.75% to USD63.23/barrel.
“Most of the oil rebound could be driven by technical factors, given the heavy sell-offs and oversold momentum in recent weeks,” Putera Satria Sambijantoro, an economist at Jakarta-based Bahana Sekuritas told Capital.com.
