Investing.com - Oil prices rose on Tuesday as supply disruptions in Canada and elsewhere that have taken some 2.5 million barrels of daily production off the market outweighed worries over brimming inventories and a looming refined products glut.
International Brent crude futures were trading at $44.22 per barrel at 10:47GMT, up 59 cents, or 1.35%, from their last settlement.
U.S. crude futures were trading at $43.81 per barrel, up 37 cents, held back more than Brent by record U.S. oil stocks.
U.S. crude and Brent are down 2.3% and 2.8% respectively since last week's close due to concerns about more than ample U.S. inventories, which are expected to hit records even with the disruptions in Canada.
