NEW YORK, Jan. 10 (UPI) -- Crude oil prices closed in on $94 Thursday in New York, as traders weighed positive corporate reports against a modest buildup in inventories.
West Texas Intermediate crude oil on the New York Mercantile Exchange added 75 cents to $93.85 per barrel despite Wednesday's Energy Information Administration report that said crude oil stockpiles added 1.3 million barrels in the week to reach 361.3 million.
