Oil prices rebounded Tuesday after a steep drop the previous day as continued fighting in the Mideast added jitters to a market already edgy about tight supplies.

Light, sweet crude for August delivery rose 37 cents to US $75.67 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange by midday in Europe.
