Oil rose for a second day after China, the world's biggest importer, said it would take steps to revive consumption by boosting incomes.
Brent crude climbed above $71 a barrel after advancing 1% on Friday, with West Texas Intermediate near $68.
Beijing will also give details on policies to stabilize stock and real estate markets, lift wages and boost the nation's birth rate, state-run news agency Xinhua reported.
Crude has fallen more than 10% from this year's high in January, as US President Donald Trump's escalating trade war, an OPEC+ decision to increase supply and a possible end to the war in Ukraine all weigh on prices.
Trump may speak to Russian leader Vladimir Putin this week, as the US pushes for a deal to end the fighting in the three-year conflict.
