Brent crude fell 0.7% to $84.05 a barrel.

European stocks edged higher following fresh highs for US equities as traders held to bets the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates this year.

Treasuries were steady, with yields on two-year securities hovering near a three-month low on bets they would more likely benefit from policy easing. A gauge of the dollar was little changed.
