Brent crude futures rose 56 cents, or 0.8%, to $69.84 a barrel at 10:43 a.m. ET (1423 GMT) after falling as low as $68.63 in early trading. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures rose 53 cents, or 0.8%, to $66.56 a barrel after earlier declines.

Both benchmarks fell 1.5% in the previous session.

The dollar index (.DXY), open new tab hit a four-month low, making oil cheaper for overseas buyers.

Oil prices, however, pared some gains after US President Donald Trump said he had instructed his commerce secretary to impose an additional 25% tariff on all steel and aluminum imports from Canada, bringing the total tariff on these products to 50%.

“Developments like this are adding to the volatility here,” said Phil Flynn, senior analyst at Price Futures Group.

Trump's protectionist policies have rocked global markets, imposing and delaying tariffs on major oil suppliers Canada and Mexico, while raising duties on China, prompting retaliatory measures.

Over the weekend, Trump said a transition period was likely and refused to rule out the possibility of a recession in the United States.

Stocks, which typically follow crude oil prices, extended losses after plunging on Monday with the S&P 500 (.SPX) posting its biggest one-day drop since Dec. 18 and the Nasdaq sliding 4.0%, its biggest one-day percentage drop since September 2022.

Investors are looking ahead to U.S. inflation data due Wednesday for clues on the path of interest rates. Meanwhile, investors are closely watching OPEC+ plans after the producer group announced plans to increase output in April.

PVM analyst Tamas Varga said the US tariff reduction would ease concerns about inflation and recession, but the recent drop in oil prices meant it was "hard to see OPEC+ going ahead with its plan and putting oil back on the market from April".

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak told reporters on Friday that the OPEC+ producer group will continue to increase output in April but may then consider other steps, including production cuts.

Brent crude oil prices are finding strong technical support at around $70 a barrel and are likely to recover, said Suvro Sarkar, head of energy at DBS Bank, adding that OPEC+ supply response will be flexible, depending on market conditions.

"If oil prices fall below $70 a barrel for a prolonged period, we think the production increase will likely be paused. OPEC+ will also closely monitor Trump's policies towards Iran and Venezuela," he said.

In the United States, crude oil inventories are expected to have risen last week, while distillate and gasoline stocks likely fell, according to a preliminary Reuters poll on Monday.

The poll is being conducted ahead of reports from the American Petroleum Institute at 4:30 p.m. ET Tuesday and the Energy Information Administration at 10:30 a.m. ET Wednesday.
