Oil prices rebound as stockpiles drop

Oil prices bounced back Tuesday night, erasing losses from the previous session after U.S. crude supplies fell last week.

Global supplies are tight as Russian output has been impacted by economic sanctions on Moscow.

U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures rose $1.18, or 1%, to $110.45 a barrel, after losing 36 cents in the previous session.

Brent futures climbed $1.39, or 1.2%, to $116.87 a barrel, after falling 14 cents.

Prices dipped earlier on Tuesday as it appeared that the European Union was unlikely to agree to a ban on Russian oil.

Data from the American Petroleum Institute industry group showed that crude stocks fell by 4.3 million barrels for the week ended March 18, according to Reuters.
