Brent crude oil has jumped nearly $5 in previous week biggest weekly gain in two years. The commodity hits the high of $62.60 on account Saudi production cuts and easing trade war between US and China. But weak Chinese trade data released today was weaker than expected is putting pressure on crude oil.
