Oil mixed in Asia, US crude near six-year lows

Singapore - US crude fell to near six-year lows in Asia on Tuesday, extending losses in New York as worries about a global oversupply were exacerbated by OPEC warning of a continued petroleum glut, analysts said.

US benchmark West Texas Intermediate (WTI) for April delivery was down eight cents to $43.80 in late morning trade, the lowest since March 2009.

Brent crude for May, a new contract, rose 27c to $54.21.
