New York’s main contract, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude for delivery in July was up 49 cents to $90.39 per barrel while Brent North Sea crude for July gained 39 cents to $105.95 in the afternoon.

Prices slumped on Wednesday as the greenback rallied on eurozone debt worries, making dollar-denominated oil more expensive.

WTI crude fell to $89.90 on Wednesday, its lowest level since October, while Brent tumbled $2.85 to $105.56.
