Oil continued its advance for the seventh straight session on expectations of a strong rebound in demand and as as the dollar weakened.
Futures in New York climbed to above $58 a barrel, the highest since January 2020 after a choppy trading session Tuesday. The nearest Brent contract sharply widened its premium to the following month, pointing to supply tightness, with inventories shrinking globally and amid expectations of further supply declines in the U.S. A weaker U.S. dollar is boosting the appeal of commodities priced in the greenback.
