Traders expect Saudi Arabia to push OPEC+ to agree another large supply increase at its May 5 meeting, with about 60% of surveyed traders predicting a June hike above the scheduled amount. Earlier in April, OPEC+ revived 411,000 barrels a day for May, three times the planned volume.
Brent briefly fell below $60 before trading near $63.
Expected extra supply from OPEC+ would add to bearish pressure on crude, which feeds into diesel costs and vegetable oil prices. The political angle, including Riyadh's ties with Washington, adds uncertainty.
