Oil Futures Pare Early Gains, Settle Modestly Lower
Crude oil futures pared early gains and settled lower on Monday.
Oil prices moved higher earlier in the session after Saudi Arabia substantially raised crude prices for July.
West Texas Intermediate Crude oil futures for July ended lower by $0.37 or about 0.3% at $118.50, after climbing to a high of $121 a barrel earlier in the session.
Brent crude futures rose to $121.85 a barrel before dropping down to $118.85.
Saudi Arabia’s Aramco raised prices for customers in Asia, northwestern Europe, and the Mediterrranean while prices for U.S. customers remain unchanged.
The July official selling price (OSP) for its flagship Arab light crude to Asia has been hiked by $2.10 from June to a $6.50 premium, the highest since May – suggesting a strong demand outlook in the summer while supply remains tight.
The price increase followed a decision last week by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies, together called OPEC+, to boost output for July and August by 648,000 barrels per day, or 50% more than previously planned.

'Top Gun' from 1986 to 2022
(CNN)Paramount Studios is being sued for copyright infringement over “Top Gun” by the family of the author whose article inspired the 1986 film.
In a complaint filed in California federal court Monday, the heirs to Ehud Yonay’s 1983 article, “Top Guns,” state the film distribution company did not reacquire the rights for the recently released sequel, “Top Gun: Maverick.”
Shosh and Yuval Yonay claim that they sent a notice of termination to Paramount and that the rights reverted back to them in January 2020, the complaint, obtained by CNN, states.
According to the Yonays, production on “Top Gun: Maverick” did not finish until May 2021, more than a year after the studio knew it no longer had the rights to the source material.
“These claims are without merit, and we will defend ourselves vigorously,” Paramount Studios told CNN in a statement.
The movie, starring Tom Cruise, was initially set for a July 2019 release but faced numerous delays and is currently sitting atop the domestic box office for the second week in a row.
CNN has reached out to attorneys for Shosh and Yuval Yonay for comment.
