West Texas Intermediate for August delivery rose $1, or 1.7%, to $58.83 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange at 11:18 a.m. London time. It climbed to $59.13 earlier, the highest intraday level since May 30. The contract rose 7.7% in the three sessions through Monday.

Brent for August settlement advanced 81 cents, or 1.3%, to $65.86 a barrel on London’s ICE Futures Europe Exchange. The global benchmark crude traded at a premium of $7.02 to WTI. The gap was as low as $6.86 earlier, the least since early April.

The U.S. is said to be willing to suspend the next round of tariffs on an additional $300 billion of Chinese imports while Beijing and Washington prepare to resume trade negotiations, people familiar with the plan said. However, no detailed trade deal is expected at the G-20 summit, according to a senior Trump administration official.
