Oil snaps five day losing streak

Oil prices climbed on Tuesday after five days of declines as the United States and China prepared to sign a preliminary trade deal and as Middle East tensions eased.

Brent crude gained 31 cents, or 0.5%, to trade at $64.51 per barrel. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures rose 15 cents or 0.3% to settle at $58.23 per barrel. 

That put WTI front-month futures on track to close below the second month for the first time since Nov. 19, which is known in the trading industry as contango.
