Singapore: Oil prices were mixed on Tuesday, pressured by concerns that the escalating Sino-US trade dispute could slow the global economy, while U.S. sanctions on crude exporters Iran and Venezuela helped keep the market on edge.
Brent crude oil futures were at $71.12 per barrel at 0710 GMT, 12 cents, or 0.2 percent, below their last close.
US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were at $62.30 per barrel, 5 cents above their last settlement.
