LONDON (Reuters) - Brent crude futures fell on Tuesday, weighed down by weak global equity markets and signs of rising global demand for crude despite the impending sanctions on Iran's oil exports.
 
By 0518 GMT, Brent crude futures were at their highest close at $ 77.18 a barrel, down 16 cents, or 0.2 percent, from the previous settlement.
 
West Texas Intermediate crude futures rose 15 cents from the previous settlement to $ 67.19 a barrel, shrinking the price gap between the two main measuring lines to less than $ 10 a barrel.
