OIL climbed amid speculation that the drop below US$50 a barrel in London for the first time since January was excessive.
Brent futures gained 1.7 per cent, paring a 5.2 per cent fall on Monday. US oil prices have slumped close to levels that will curb supply growth, according to consultant Petromatrix GmbH.
