Oil headed for a third weekly advance as the market braced for more tariffs from the Trump administration due early next week.

Brent traded near $74 a barrel after closing 0.3% higher on Thursday, while West Texas Intermediate was below $70. So-called reciprocal levies and a duty on buyers of crude from Venezuela are scheduled to take effect on April 2, the latest round in a series of US tariffs that’s rattled global markets.

Oil has trended higher since early March as investors weigh the disruption to supply caused by President Donald Trump’s sanctions and levies, with traders snapping up bullish options to hedge against price spikes. Venezuela has also ramped up crude exports to China to the highest in almost two years.

The potential hit to crude flows has been at times tempered by concerns over softer demand and rising supply, with top trading houses bearish on crude prices over the rest of the year. Next month, OPEC+ is scheduled to start reviving idled production, the first in a series of planned hikes.
