Oil prices jump after US debt deal and jobs data as focus turns to OPEC

Oil prices increased due to the U.S. debt ceiling deal, Federal Reserve's signals of a rate hike pause, and the anticipation of the OPEC+ meeting. Brent crude futures are up 2.5% at $76.16, and U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude rose 2.6% to $71.95. However, this gain is not enough, as both are likely to face their first weekly loss in three weeks. A moderate increase in employment reduced the possibility of an interest rate hike, enabling investors to remain focused on the OPEC+ meeting on June 4 to discuss oil production.
