Oil prices edged higher on Tuesday, after hopes diminished that negotiations between Israel and Hamas would lead to a ceasefire in Gaza, and on Mexico’s plan to remove more crude from the global market.
Brent crude futures rose 28 cents, or 0.31%, to $90.66 a barrel by 1002 GMT. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were up 24 cents or 0.28% at $86.67.
On Monday a fresh round of Israel-Hamas ceasefire discussions in Cairo had ended a multi-session rally, leading Brent to its first decline in five sessions and WTI to its first in seven on prospects for a breakthrough.
