TOKYO (Reuters) – Oil prices were up in early trade on Tuesday ahead of data later expected to show a draw in oil and gasoline inventories, though persistent concerns over a slowdown in China’s economy limited the upside.

was up 10 cents at $84.56 a barrel and U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was trading 9 cents higher at $80.81 a barrel at 0101 GMT. WTI’s contract with September expiry was up 11 cents at $80.23 a barrel.

U.S. economic data over recent weeks has bolstered expectations for the Fed to keep rates higher for longer, putting a dampener on the demand outlook for oil and a broad range of consumer goods.

Moreover, gloom over the economic outlook in China, the world’s second biggest oil consumer, has also pressured oil prices.

Brent and U.S. crude oil ended on Monday at a loss, after China’s central bank cut its one-year lending rate only moderately to the disappointment of the market which had expected more aggressive stimulus steps amid a rapid loss in economic momentum.
