DUBAI, Nov 17 (Reuters) - Gulf shares may garner some support on Tuesday as oil steadies despite oversupply fears and as sentiment recovers in global equities.

Investors crept back into riskier assets with shares in Asia and Wall Street taking the Paris attacks in stride.

While Brent crude edged up to 44.68 dollars per barrel at 0532 GMT.

"There are some opportunities, with stocks under-performing and quality names are doing much better than others," said Ali Adou, portfolio manager at Abu Dhabi's investment firm TNI.

Adou said the UAE could provide a trigger as investors buy shares in end-of-month buying.

Dubai's benchmark climbed 0.9 percent on Sunday, helped by real estate shares.

Saudi Arabian bank shares could attract buyers after a report on Maaal financial website said the government is in talks with local banks to sell local currency bonds worth 20 billion riyals ($5.3 billion), which will be allocated next week.

This would be the second time this year the Saudi government sold debt to local banks.
