Oil posted a second straight monthly gain as physical markets show signs of strength and traders look ahead to OPEC+ potentially extending its supply cuts.
Oil posted the largest weekly gain since April after OPEC+ clarified its plan to return some output to the market and fuel markets showed signs of strength.
Oil prices surged above $85 as a monthslong effort by OPEC+ to reduce supplies gripped the physical market and China showed a new resolve to bolster its economy, a key engine of global crude consumption.
Tightening global oil supplies and expectations that the Federal Reserve's tightening is nearing an end propelled crude to the longest run of weekly gains in more than a year.
Oil shed nearly 25% to post its first quarterly loss in more than two years as escalating fears over a global economic slowdown and a stronger dollar overshadowed concerns of tightness in oil supplies.
