HOUSTON (Reuters) -Oil futures rose on Monday after Saudi Arabia hiked June crude prices for most regions and as the prospect of a quick agreement for a Gaza ceasefire deal appeared slim, reviving fears that combat between Hamas and Israeli forces will resume soon. Brent crude futures were up 69 cents, or 0.84%, at $83.65 a barrel at 11:15 CDT (1615 GMT), while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures were at $78.89 a barrel, up 78 cents, or 1%. Last week, both futures contracts posted their steepest weekly loss in three months, with Brent falling more than 7% and WTI down 6.8%, as investors weighed weak U.S. jobs data and the possible timing of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut.
