Brent crude settled at $69.14, up 99 cents (1.45%), while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) closed at $65.59, up $1.58 (2.47%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The U.S. Treasury sanctioned a shipping network accused of disguising Iranian crude as Iraqi oil, in a move analysts said reaffirmed Washington\u2019s hard line on Tehran amid stalled nuclear talks. \u201cThe U.S. cracking down on Iranian exports was definitely supportive of prices today,\u201d said Phil Flynn of Price Futures Group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attention now turns to the September 7 OPEC+ meeting, where analysts expect the core group of eight members, including Saudi Arabia and Russia, will maintain voluntary output cuts. \u201cThey may want to see more data after the summer driving season before making changes,\u201d said independent analyst Gaurav Sharma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UBS analyst Giovanni Staunovo added that expectations of another U.S. crude inventory draw were also supportive, especially with the U.S. summer driving season \u2014 the world\u2019s peak demand window \u2014 officially ending with Labor Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
