Oil prices rose on Tuesday as investors fretted over tight global supply after Libya was forced to halt some exports and as factories in Shanghai prepared to reopen post a COVID-19 shutdown, easing some demand worries.

Brent crude futures rose 61 cents, or 0.5%, to $113.77 a barrel at 0349 GMT, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures gained 33 cents, or 0.3%, to $108.54 a barrel.
