Oil rises as US stockpiles may drop

Oil prices rose on Tuesday on expectations that inventories in the U.S., the world’s biggest crude consumer, are expected to fall and on signs that demand in emerging markets remains healthy.

Brent crude LCOc1 rose 57 cents, or 0.68%, to $84.75 a barrel at 0425 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate CLc1 gained 60 cents, or 0.75%, to $80.34.
