LONDON—Oil prices inched up from multi-month lows on Monday as lingering worries about demand weakening on the back of a darkened economic outlook outweighed some positive economic data from China and the United States.

Erasing earlier gains, Brent crude futures were down 51 cents, or 0.5 percent, at $94.41 a barrel by 0816 GMT. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was at $88.58 a barrel, down 43 cents, or 0.5 percent.
