Oil prices rose in early trade on Tuesday, on supply concerns due to production cuts from Saudi Arabia and Russia.

Brent crude futures rose 37 cents, or 0.4 percent, to $85.71 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was at $82.37 a barrel, up 43 cents, or 0.5 percent.

Both contracts closed down about 1 percent in the previous session, as investors braced for weak demand from the world's two largest economies, China and the United States.
