Oil little changed as China data, Ukraine weighed

The price of oil was little changed Tuesday as signs of slower growth in China were tempered by ongoing tensions over Ukraine.

Benchmark U.S. crude for June delivery was down 1 cent at $100.58 a barrel at 0910 GMT in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract rose 60 cents to $100.59 on Monday as traders worried about the turmoil in Ukraine and prolonged disruption of oil exports from Libya despite muted demand and plentiful supplies.
