Crude oil fell below $107.00 a barrel on Tuesday as supply fears eased but losses were limited amid expectations crude inventories in the world`s largest oil consumer the United States will fall.

Libya`s Oil Minister Abdelbari al-Arusi said “output had improved and the government was working to end protests at oil facilities”, while Iranian President signaled a willingness to improve relations with the West and end a dispute over the nuclear program.
