LONDON—Oil prices were stable on Tuesday following the previous session’s dip after a flurry of economic data from Germany, the wider eurozone and Britain sketched a bearish picture which could weigh on oil demand.

Brent crude futures were up 41 cents, or 0.5 percent, at $90.24 a barrel by 1122 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures rose 38 cents, or 0.4 percent, to $85.87 a barrel.
