BEIJING (Reuters) -Oil prices recorded limited gains on Monday after U.S. President Donald Trump extended a deadline for trade talks with the European Union, easing concerns about U.S. tariffs on the bloc that could hurt the global economy. Brent crude futures rose 18 cents, or 0.28%, to $64.96 a barrel by 0653 GMT while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was up 17 cents, or 0.28%, at $61.7 a barrel. "A nice push higher in crude oil and U.S. equity futures this morning after U.S. President Trump extended the deadline," IG market analyst Tony Sycamore said.
