Oil prices pull back from lows

Brent oil prices were higher Tuesday, pulling back from near six-month lows, as commodity markets in general were calmer after a recent rout fuelled by concerns over China's economy. Brent North Sea crude for delivery in September climbed 32 cents to stand at $53.79 a barrel in late London deals. US benchmark West Texas Intermediate for September delivery recovered from four-month lows but was still lower compared with Monday's close.
