(RTTNews) - Oil futures settled slightly higher on Thursday after some wild swings amid uncertainty about the outlook for oil demand, and on possible excess supply in the market.

West Texas Intermediate Crude oil futures for April settled at $66.36 a barrel, up $0.05% from previous close.

Data from Bloomberg said analytics firm Vortexa showed Russian Feb oil products exports reached a 1-year high of 2.5 million bpd.
