International Brent crude oil futures were up 40 cents, or 0.7 per cent, at $62.09 per barrel. Both crude benchmarks climbed by around 4 per cent the previous session after Washington and Beijing agreed on a truce in their trade disputes and said they would negotiate for 90 days before taking any further action.
