LONDON, Aug 18 (Reuters) - Brent crude oil futures fell more
than $1 a barrel on Tuesday, giving away earlier gains after
weak U.S. housing data rekindled doubts over the pace of
economic recovery in the world's largest energy user.
London Brent crude for October was down 88 cents at
$69.66 by 1309 GMT, off an earlier high of $71.42.
Investors are awaiting weekly U.S. fuel inventory reports to
be released on Tuesday and Wednesday, expected to show crude
stockpiles have risen for the fourth straight week.
