SINGAPORE- Oil prices recuperated from previous drop and advanced 6% on Tuesday. However, analysts believed that there is very little margin for recovery from sharpest decline in nearly 30 years as Saudi Arabia and Russia are currently caught in a price dispute.

Brent crude futures increased $2.36, equivalent to 6.9%, and were quoted at $36.72 per barrel at exactly 0307 GMT. US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude advanced $1.87, equivalent to 6%, and last stood at $33.00 per barrel.
