The People's Bank of China (PBoC) injected 267 billion yuan ($41 billion) into 18 financial institutions via medium-term lending facility (MLF) on Monday.
The reason for this injection could be the decision to boost liquidity.
The oil driller Baker Hughes reported on Friday that the number of active U.S. oil rigs fell by 8 rigs to 343 last week. It was the lowest level since 2009.
The number of gas rigs declined by 1 to 88.
Combined oil and gas rigs decreased by 9 to 431.
