Oil prices rise over 2% amid rate-cut optimism

Oil prices climbed more than 2% last week, driven by federal rate-cut expectations and easing geopolitical tensions. Brent crude closed around $79 while WTI traded near $74. A stronger dollar Monday trimmed some of those gains, but analysts still see a support level near $79. With markets pricing in a softer U.S. interest rate stance, bullish momentum in oil may persist.
