Brent prompt future contract approached topped 60 $/b on early Monday, as the successful OPEC meeting on last week continued to tighten crude markets.

Chinese oil imports are likely to reach 10.9 mb/d in January, rebounding strongly from December’s lows. CTFC data showed an increasing net long position in NYMEX WTI futures for financial players, while producers expanded their net short position.
