(Reuters) - Oil prices edged down on Monday as investors weighed easing Middle East risks and a possible OPEC+ output increase in August.
Both Brent and U.S. crude oil benchmarks posted their biggest weekly declines since March 2023 last week but rose for the second consecutive month, gaining around 6% and 7% respectively.
Brent futures settled down 16 cents, or 0.2%, to $67.61 a barrel and expired on Monday. The more active September contract ended at $66.74.
U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude settled down 41 cents, or 0.6%, at $65.11 a barrel.
A 12-day war that started with Israel targeting Iran's nuclear facilities on June 13 sent prices above $80 a barrel before sliding back to $67.
"This ceasefire that was quickly engineered appears to be holding up, so the supply risk premium that was in place is continuing to be withdrawn in a rapid fashion," said John Kilduff, a partner at Again Capital.
Meanwhile, U.S. crude oil production hit a record 13.47 million barrels per day in April, up from 13.45 million bpd in March, according to data released by the Energy Information Administration as part of its Petroleum Supply Monthly series.
The record U.S. oil production was adding to the bearish sentiment on Monday, Kilduff added.
U.S. stocks ended higher on Monday on optimism around trade talks ahead of July 9 — the expiration date of the Trump administration’s 90-day tariff pause that started on April 2.
The Canadian government announced on Sunday night that it would scrap its digital services tax on U.S. tech companies, which had prompted President Trump to halt trade negotiations between the two countries.
