TOKYO: Oil prices climbed on Tuesday as investors took advantage of the previous day's losses to cover short positions, although concerns persisted over economic headwinds from tariffs and U.S. monetary policy that could dampen fuel demand.
Brent crude futures rose 36 cents, or 0.5%, to $66.62 a barrel at 0421 GMT. The U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude contract for May, which expires on Tuesday, was at $63.73 a barrel, up 65 cents, or 1%.
