Buyers also reacted to the ongoing outages in Libya, which loses more than 550,000 barrels per day due to the blockade of major export fields and ports.
Brent rose nearly 8% in the past seven trading days, but the rise came at a slow pace, in contrast to the rally that accompanied the moves in late February when Russia invaded Ukraine and in mid-March as well.
The European Union is still considering a Russian oil embargo, and US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen Al-Hamees said the bloc should be careful before a complete ban on Russian energy imports could cause oil prices to rise.
