* Brent crude climbed above $114 a barrel, buoyed by hopes of higher demand in the months ahead and tighter U.S. inventories, but concerns about moderating economic growth in China and euro zone debt woes kept a lid on gains.
* European shares were set to rise for an eighth straight session on Wednesday, although peripheral euro zone banking shares could succumb to pressure after Moody's downgraded Portugal's credit rating to "junk", in a move which is likely to prompt further worries over the region's debt crisis.
