NEW YORK (Reuters) - Oil prices steadied on Tuesday, with Brentrecovering from near six-month lows and U.S. crude settling more than 1 percenthigher as bets for a drop in U.S. stockpiles offset concern over a global oilsupply glut and China's stock market meltdown.


Trades also cited short-covering after a four-day selloff that wipedbetween 6 and 7 percent from crude futures prices.

Some stayed convinced, however, that oil has more to lose, and that abottom for crude futures was still far off.


"We're getting a bounce of sorts but I'll be selling into anystrength I see," said Tariq Zahir, an oil bear at Tyche Capital Advisorsin Laurel Holllow, New York.


Brent futures (LCOc1) settled down 17 cents, or 0.3 percent, at $53.30a barrel. It had hit $52.28 earlier in the session, its lowest since earlyFebruary, on concern about the stock market plunge in China, the world'slargest energy consumer.


U.S. crude futures (CLc1) settled up 59 cents, or 1.2 percent, at$47.98 a barrel.


Crude futures came off their lows after expectations grew that U.S.crude inventories had fallen last week. Stockpiles had risen to a five-yearseasonal average the previous week.


The American Petroleum Institute (API), an industry group, said afterthe market settlement that U.S. crude inventories fell by 1.9 million barrelslast week. A Reuters poll of analysts had forecast a drop of just about 200,000barrels. Official data on stockpiles will be issued on Wednesday by the U.S.Energy Information Administration. [API/S][EIA/S]


While the API reported a larger-than-expected crude draw, some brokerswere troubled by a big build of 4.3 million barrels in stocks of distillate,including diesel, which they fear could hurt overall sentiment for oil.


Futures of ultralow sulphur diesel (HOc1) sank to six-year lows onTuesday, while gasoline futures (RBc1) hit 3-1/2-month lows on worry overebbing demand for automotive fuels as the U.S. summer driving season draws to aclose. The rally in oil products had powered much of the second-quarterrecovery in crude prices.


"A 4.3 million barrel distilates build will renew bearishpressure," said David Thompson, executive vice-president at Powerhouse, anenergy-specialized commodities broker in Washington.


U.S. crude futures hit a 2015 high above $62 just three months ago.Technical analysts think the market could lose another $15.

"Essentially, we see prices staying lower for longer,"Virendra Chauhan, analyst at consultancy Energy Aspects, told the ReutersGlobal Oil Forum.
