Brent crude oil futures gained 0.7% to settle at $67.4 per barrel on Monday, extending last week’s gains as traders balanced escalating Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian energy facilities against forecasts of a looming supply surplus. Ukraine launched a major strike with more than 360 drones, briefly igniting a fire at the 355,000-barrel-per-day Kirishi refinery, just days after targeting the Primorsk export terminal, which handles about 1 million barrels per day. Pressure on Moscow intensified after US President Donald Trump reiterated his readiness to impose sweeping sanctions on Russian crude if NATO allies halt purchases, a step that could reshape global energy flows. Also, investors are watching US-China trade talks in Madrid, where Washington is pressing allies to impose tariffs on Chinese goods over Beijing’s continued buying of Russian oil. Still, gains were capped by concerns over softening US demand and expectations of a global surplus as OPEC+ ramps up production.

Wall Street kicked off the week mostly higher, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq up over 0.5% to fresh record highs, while the Dow swinging new the flatline. Investors looked ahead to Wednesday’s Federal Reserve decision, with markets widely expecting a 25-basis-point cut after recent signs of labor market weakness and subdued inflation. Tesla jumped 3.7% after CEO Elon Musk disclosed a nearly $1 billion stock purchase, his largest ever in the open market, while Alphabet’s (+3.9%) valuation hit $3 trillion, boosting communication services. Nvidia pared losses after China’s regulator said the company had violated anti-monopoly laws, while Texas Instruments slid 3.1% on news of a Chinese anti-dumping probe into US analog chipmakers. Trade tensions also lingered as President Donald Trump signaled progress in US-China negotiations, including a potential deal related to TikTok, though risks of tariffs and tech restrictions remain.
