LONDON, July 13 (Reuters) - Oil prices edged up on Tuesday as tight supply and expectations of a further draw in U.S. and global crude inventories provided support, although fears over the spreading COVID-19 variant capped gains.

Brent crude for September rose 21 cents, or 0.3%, to $75.37 a barrel by 1123 GMT, after losing 0.5% on Monday.

U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude for August was at $74.18 a barrel, up 8 cents, or 0.1%, having fallen 0.6% the previous day.

U.S. crude inventories were expected to fall for an eighth consecutive week, while gasoline stocks also declined, a preliminary Reuters poll showed on Monday.
