Brent crude futures rose $2.37, or 3.2%, to $76.60 a barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate crude climbed $2.39, or 3.3%, to $75.37. They surged more than $4 earlier in the session.
Both benchmarks settled 7% higher on Friday, having surged more than 13% during the session to their highest levels since January.
