LONDON (Reuters) – Oil edged up to about $69 a barrel on Tuesday after the previous session’s 7% slide, as a tight physical market offset some concerns about the impact on demand from rising COVID-19 infections and higher OPEC+ supply.

“Global demand still appears to be recovering dynamically, so the oil market should end up in supply deficit in the coming months despite the production hikes to be implemented by OPEC+,” said Eugen Weinberg of Commerzbank (DE:).

gained 41 cents, or 0.6%, to $69.03 by 0930 GMT, after sliding 6.8% on Monday. for August , which expires later on Tuesday, was up 33 cents, or 0.5%, at $66.75, after falling 7.5% on Monday. The September U.S. crude contract was up 0.5% at $66.67.

Monday’s selloff, which pushed oil to a two-month low and hit other risk assets like equities, was driven by concern that rising COVID-19 infections could cause demand to weaken again, just as OPEC+ has decided to add supply.

“As things stand, it is hard to see prices staging a comeback unless virus jitters are brought back under control,” said Stephen Brennock of oil broker PVM.

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies, a group known as OPEC+, agreed on Sunday to increase output from August, unwinding more of the supply curbs put in place last year when the pandemic first struck.

The Delta coronavirus variant is now the dominant strain worldwide, U.S. officials said on Friday.

Still, Julius Baer analyst Carsten Menke said it was unlikely to jeopardise the ongoing recovery of global growth, even though it could cause “regional hiccups.”
