NEW YORK, Feb. 9 (UPI) -- Crude oil prices settled under $100 per barrel Thursday in New York with prices staying within a recent trading range as inventories remained flat.
The U.S. Energy Information Agency said Wednesday crude oil supplies dropped by 300,000 barrels to 339.2 million barrels in the week ending Feb. 3. The marginal drop left supplies within the upper limit of the average range for this time of year.
