May 5 (Reuters) – U.S. crude futures eased 1% in early Asian trade on Tuesday as the market gauged the impact of Iranian attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz and a fire at a UAE oil port.
U.S. West Texas Intermediate was at $105.36 a barrel, down $1.06, or 1%, by 2203 GMT, following a more than 4% gain in the previous session.
