SINGAPORE, July 6 (Reuters): Oil prices were mixed on Monday, with Brent crude edging higher, supported by tighter supplies, while U.S. benchmark WTI futures dropped on concern that a spike in coronavirus cases could curb oil demand in the United States.
Brent crude rose 41 cents, or 1%, to $43.21 a barrel by 0634 GMT after a 4.3% gain last week, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude was at $40.61, down 4 cents, or 0.1%, from its previous settlement on Thursday. US markets were closed on Friday to mark the country's July 4 holiday.
