REUTERS/Tatiana Meel/File PhotoLONDON - Oil was steady on Monday after Chinese economic data underscoring a bumpy recovery for the world's biggest crude importer offset hopes for a boost to demand from the summer driving season in the northern hemisphere.

Global benchmark Brent crude futures were down 3 cents to $82.59 a barrel at 1038 GMT. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures were down 13 cents to $78.32.
