Brent crude futures were down 32 cents, or 0.3%, to $95.67 a barrel by 0725 GMT after settling up 1.1% on Friday while WTI crude futures fell 39 cents, or 0.4%, to $88.57 a barrel after closing Friday's session 2.9% higher.

Yellen to seek clarity from China on COVID, property -officialsU.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen will seek clarity on China's plans to ease its COVID-19 restrictions and deal with problems in its property sector when she meets on Monday with China's central bank chief, Treasury officials said on Sunday.

I'd have more faith walking down the streets of Wuhan, China licking doorknobs than I would listening to what Janet Yellen has to say. She's a WEF puppet and fraud. Oh, I’m sure China will provide clarity now that Yellen seeks it. 🙄
