Investing.com - Oil futures were higher early Monday as the dollar fell due to fading hopes for a Fed rate hike this month.
U.S. crude futures were up 52 cents, or 1.07%. at $49.14 a barrel at 0645ET, while Brent crude gained 1.03% to $50.15 a barrel.
However, gains in oil futures were capped by plentiful supply, with Iran looking to quickly recoup its pre-sanction market share.
Hopes for a U.S. Fed hike were dampened by the latest U.S. nonfarm payroll data, which showed the smallest increase in jobs since September 2010. A weak dollar underpins demand for oil.
