Oil prices extend gains for another session as markets remained skeptical that a deal to restore shipping through the Strait of Hormuz is imminent.

In early trading, Brent crude was up 0.6% to $89.49 a barrel, while WTI futures rose 0.6% to $83.67 a barrel.

"Officials indicated that Iran-Oman talks were at an advanced stage, while President Trump hardened his stance toward Iran and introduced additional demands," said Soojin Kim from MUFG. "Uncertainty over the timing and terms of a Hormuz agreement is likely to keep a substantial geopolitical risk premium in oil prices."
