The West Texas Intermediate (WTI) for November delivery increased 55 cents, or nearly 0.7 percent, to settle at 83.49 U.S. dollars a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent crude for November delivery added 63 cents, or 0.7 percent, to settle at 90.46 dollars a barrel on the London ICE Futures Exchange.
The above market reactions came as traders continued to weigh risks from both the demand and supply sides.
On Wednesday, the WTI and Brent dipped 1.2 percent and 0.9 percent to settle at their lowest in about two weeks, pressured by another big rate hike of the Federal Reserve and a rise in U.S. crude stockpiles.
