Oil prices extended gains on Tuesday amid concerns over Russian and Iranian oil supply and sanctions threats, despite worries that escalating trade tariffs could dampen global economic growth.
Brent crude futures were up 55 cents, or 0.72%, at $76.42 a barrel by 0717 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude rose 50 cents or 0.69% to $72.82.
Both contracts posted gains of near 2% in the prior session after three weekly losses in a row.
