Oil held three weeks of declines as traders wait for industry reports to confirm whether the recent run lower has been overdone.

Brent crude slipped toward $81 a barrel, after losing about 12% over the past three weeks on growing concerns over global demand and the unwinding of the Israel-Hamas war’s risk premium. West Texas Intermediate traded below $77. OPEC will publish its monthly oil market report on Monday, followed this week by the International Energy Agency and two weeks’ worth of US inventory data.

“The release of several oil market reports this week will be the focus,” ANZ Group Holdings Ltd. analysts Brian Martin and Daniel Hynes said in a note. “Any signs of tightness may shift sentiment that has been weakened by easing geopolitical tensions.”

Oil rebounded slightly at the end of last week after Wednesday slipping below $80 for the first time since July, with bearish consumption signals from China, the US and Europe prevailing. Supply from the Middle East — the source of about a third of the world’s crude — has remained unaffected by the conflict between Israel and Hamas, while shipments from Russia and the US are increasing.

Over the weekend, Israeli jets struck Hezbollah targets in Lebanon in another sign a second front could open in the conflict. Senior officials in Israel and the US suggested that talks on securing the release of Hamas-held hostages are intensifying.

Meanwhile, Iraqi Oil Minister Hayyan Abdul Ghani is visiting the Kurdistan region to discuss the resumption of exports via Ceyhan in Turkey. The major pipeline has been halted since March because of a dispute between Turkey and Iraq and was also damaged by an earthquake.
