India, March 11 -- Oil prices inched higher on Tuesday after falling to six-month lows on Monday on trade war worries and the prospects of more oil coming into the market.

Benchmark Brent crude futures jumped 0.6 percent to $69.71 in European trade after sliding 1.5 percent in the previous session on demand concerns and uncertainty over OPEC+ supply changes. WTI crude futures were up 0.6 percent at $66.40.
