Oil eases on profit-taking, Russia-Ukraine conflict remains key focus


TOKYO: Oil prices eased on Tuesday as investors scooped up profits from the previous day's rally to seven-year highs and as global stock markets slumped, although lingering concerns that Russia might invade Ukraine and disrupt energy supplies limited losses.

Brent crude futures were at $96.04 a barrel by 0540 GMT, down 44 cents, or 0.5%, after rising $2.04 on Monday.
