(Bloomberg) -- Oil held losses near $65 a barrel in Asian trading after a recent rally ran out of steam amid a stronger U.S. dollar, which reduced the appeal of commodities priced in the currency.Futures in New York ended 1.6% lower on Monday after jumping to the highest level since October 2018 earlier in the session following an attack on a major Saudi Arabian export crude terminal. A Bloomberg survey is pointing to a third weekly gain in U.S. oil inventories, which may lead to the American benchmark falling further after figures are released on Wednesday.While the assault on Saudi Arabia’s Ras Tanura facility appears to have had no impact on crude exports, it’s the latest in a series of incidents following a number of attacks by Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels on the kingdom.Oil has rallied this year amid output cuts from Saudi Arabia and OPEC+ and an improving demand outlook with the rollout of Covid-19 vaccines. Prompt timespreads have firmed in a bullish backwardation structure, helping to unwind bloated inventories built up during the coronavirus pandemic, while investment banks continue to raise their crude price forecasts.“The price shock resulting from the attack on Saudi oil facilities proved to be transient,” said Howie Lee, an economist at Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp. “Oil at some stage needs a breather, but with OPEC+ and Saudi Arabia supporting the market, it’s unlikely the correction will be deep.”U.S. crude stockpiles increased by 3 million barrels last week, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg survey.

Women across Mexico took to the streets on Monday to protest the crisis of violence they face on a daily basis, fueled by what they say is an out of touch government, and President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's support for a politician accused of rape. According to public policy think tank Mexico Evalua, which analyzed government data, five million women were victims of sexual violence in the second half of 2020 in Mexico, including harassment, sexual abuse, attempted rape or rape, the vast majority of which did not get reported. The marches to mark International Women's Day were smaller in size than last year's demonstrations, likely because of concerns about the coronavirus pandemic.

"Rising U.S. bond yields are obviously driving the dollar but what's behind them is the realisation that U.S. vaccination programme is going ahead very fast and the U.S. economic normalisation may happen earlier than people have expected, perhaps by a quarter or two," said Yukio Ishizuki, senior strategist at Daiwa Securities.
