LONDON—Oil prices rose on Tuesday, recouping losses from the previous session, as a weaker U.S. dollar offset widening COVID-19 curbs in China that have stoked fears of slowing fuel demand in the world’s second-largest oil consumer.
Brent crude for January delivery rose $1.38, or 1.49 percent, to $94.19 per barrel at 0951 GMT. The December contract expired on Monday at $94.83 a barrel, down 1 percent.
