Brent crude futures rose 85 cents, or 1.2 percent, to $74.54 per barrel.
West Texas Intermediate crude futures (WTI) rose 74 cents, or 1.1 percent, to $68.35 a barrel.
Both benchmarks rose by more than $1 earlier in yesterday's session.
On Wednesday, they hit their lowest levels since December 2021, having fallen for three straight days. Brent has lost nearly 10 percent since Fridays close, while US crude is down about 11 percent.
