TOKYO: Oil prices edged lower on Tuesday after rising earlier in the day and analysts said prices were set to sustain a rally driven by strong demand in the United States, the world's biggest consumer of oil and its products.
Brent crude was down 5 cents at $85.94 a barrel by 0631 GMT, after gaining 0.5% on Monday. U.S. oil dropped 12 cents to $83.64 a barrel, having finished unchanged the previous session after testing new highs.
