NEW YORK, Sept. 4 (UPI) -- Crude oil prices held under $96 a barrel Tuesday, although price support was provided by the likelihood of a European bond-buying program on the horizon.
European Central Bank President Mario Draghi said Monday he would go along with a program of buying three-year government bonds.
The ECB is scheduled to make a monetary policy announcement Thursday.
On the New York Mercantile Exchange Tuesday, West Texas Intermediate crude oil for October delivery added 25 cents in late trading to $95.55 per barrel. Natural gas lost 0.3 cents to $2.851 per million British thermal units.
