Oil extended gains after Saudi Arabia ousted its long-time energy minister before an OPEC+ committee that monitors compliance with output cuts meets this week in Abu Dhabi.
Futures rose for a fourth day in New York after climbing 2.6% last week. While Saudi King Salman dismissed Khalid Al-Falih and replaced him with one of his sons, the decision is unlikely to signal a change to the kingdom's oil policy, according to analysts and officials. A two-day meeting of the OPEC+ Joint Technical Committee starts Wednesday and United Arab Emirates energy minister said there is no recommendation to make deeper output cuts.
