Oil prices climbed for the first time in three days on Thursday, with supply worries resurfacing after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a reversal of a license given to Chevron (CVX.N), opens new tab to operate in Venezuela.
Brent crude oil futures rose 24 cents or 0.33% to $72.77 a barrel by 0328 GMT. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude oil futures were up 18 cents or 0.26% at $68.80 per barrel.
A day earlier, the contracts settled at their lowest since December 10 due to a surprise build in U.S. fuel inventories that hinted at weakening demand and hopes for a potential peace deal between Russia and Ukraine. Both benchmarks have lost about 5% so far this month.
