Oil holds steady with Wall Street as the U.S. votes

Oil prices were little changed on Tuesday, paring earlier gains in line with U.S. stock markets as voters head to the polls to elect the next president of the United States. In a swell of investor risk appetite, U.S. stocks racked up their biggest one-day gain since March on Monday, but this boost, which lifted oil, copper and European equities earlier on Tuesday faded. The most recent polls have put Democrat Hillary Clinton ahead of Republican rival Donald Trump in Tuesday's election.
