Marketmen said the rise in crude oil futures was largely in tandem with a hardening trend in Asian trade on bargain-hunting after dropping last week, but a supply glut and a resurgent dollar may limit gains.

Meanwhile, West Texas Intermediate crude prices for July advanced 14 cents to $59.86 while Brent for July gained eight cents to $65.45 a barrel in late morning trade on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
