WTI oil price was at 79.24 USD/barrel, up 0.32% compared to the previous session.

Oil prices have been under pressure as supply concerns appear to be easing, analysts say. Traders say Middle East tensions have little impact on supplies in the short term, while mediators are still trying to broker a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.

However, investors are also cautious about supply cuts by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies (OPEC+) ahead of a policy meeting on June 1. Some analysts expect that short-term demand will remain well supported and oil prices will limit their decline.
