US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures slipped 0.76% to $86.69.

 

Crude prices surged on Wednesday, with Brent climbing to $90 a barrel for the first time in seven years, amid the tensions between Ukraine and Russia.

 

Meanwhile, OPEC+ will probably stick with a planned increase in its oil output target for March, Reuters reported, citing sources.
