Oil prices bounced slightly higher on Tuesday after the U.S. upped sanctions on Venezuela, offering some distraction from ongoing trade tensions which sent U.S. crude down 1.7% a day earlier.
New York-traded West Texas Intermediate crude futures gained 36 cents, or 0.7%, to $55.05 a barrel by 7:52 AM ET (11:52 GMT), while Brent crude futures, the benchmark for oil prices outside the U.S., rose 17 cents, or 0.3%, to $59.98.
U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order late Monday to declare a total economic embargo against Venezuela, freezing all of the government’s assets and prohibiting transactions with the country, unless specifically exempted.
