Oil prices ease as demand concerns outweigh supply cuts prospect


TOKYO: Oil futures eased on Tuesday, reversing the previous day's rally, as concerns over weaker demand amid a slowing global economy outweighed the prospect of deepening supply cuts by OPEC and its allies such as Russia.

Brent crude futures fell 19 cents, or 0.2%, to $82.13 a barrel by 0013 GMT while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was at $77.68 a barrel, down 15 cents, or 0.2%.
