Analysts on average expect US crude stockpiles to have risen by 1.9-million barrels last week, the fourth straight increase. The first of this week's stockpile reports is due at 8.30am GMT from the American Petroleum Institute.

While Opec-led supply cuts have boosted Brent by more than 30% in 2019, gains have been limited by worries that slowing economic growth could weaken demand for fuel.
