Light, sweet crude for September delivery settled at US$107.2 on the Nymex, while ICE North Sea Brent crude oil for September delivery settled at US$108.4 a barrel. Oil prices rose in a volatile trading session in advance of the U.S. Energy Information Administration's report Wednesday, expected to show domestic oil stockpiles declining for a fourth consecutive week.
