Tokyo : Oil markets were split on Tuesday, with U.S. crude pushed up by reduced flows from Canada while international Brent prices eased.
U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were at $62.38 a barrel at 0518 GMT, up 70 cents, or 1.1 percent, from their last settlement.
Traders said the higher WTI prices were a result of reduced flows from Canada´s Keystone pipeline, which has been operating below capacity since late last year due to a leak, cutting Canadian supplies into the United States.
Outside North America, Brent crude eased on the back of a dip in Asian stocks and a stronger dollar, which potentially curbs demand as it makes fuel more expensive for countries using other currencies domestically. Brent crude futures were at $65.48 per barrel, down 19 cents, or 0.3 percent, from their last close.
