US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude went up 82 cents, or 0.92 percent, to trade at $90.25.

The gains came as the market weighed supply constraints from a storm heading for US oil-producing regions and attacks by Yemen’s Ansarullah movement on Saudi Arabia against increased supplies of Middle East crude, according to the Reuters news agency.
