International benchmarks for crude oil settled higher on Monday, 20 February 2023 following weekly loss as the market picked up a signal of demand recovery in China following the end of the draconian Zero-Covid policy. However, investors continue to keep an eye on the next FED interest rate meeting and the potential impact on the economy.

Brent for the April settlement added $1.07 or 1.3% to close at $84.07/barrel.

WTI is off for a holiday in the US.
