Brent fell $1.92, or 1.7%, to $113.70 a barrel. WTI slipped $2.82, or 2.5%, to $109.3. Both contracts had settled up more than 7% on Monday.
Oil also slipped as the U.S. dollar strengthened after comments from U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Monday that flagged a more aggressive tightening of monetary policy than previously anticipated.
A strong dollar makes crude more expensive for other currency holders and tends to weigh on risk appetite.
