Oil prices traded lower ahead Eurozone leaders' meeting
Oil prices traded lower despite hopes for a deal between Athens and its creditors. The head of the Eurogroup Jeroen Dijsselbloem said after the Eurogroup's meeting on Monday that a deal between Greece and its creditors could be reached this week.
"It's an opportunity to get a deal this week and that's what we'll work for," he said.
Dijsselbloem noted that the new Greek proposal was "broad and comprehensive".
"Work still needs to be done," the EU's Economic and Financial Affairs Commissioner Pierre Moscovici said.
The Eurozone leaders' meeting is scheduled to be at 17:00 GMT.
