Oil prices edged higher in volatile trading on Wednesday as investors focused their attention on an upcoming OPEC+ output policy meeting and looked past a jump in U.S. crude, gasoline and distillate stockpiles.
Brent crude futures were up 43 cents, or 0.5%, to $82.11 a barrel by 11:32 a.m. ET [1632 GMT]. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures gained 49 cents, or 0.6%, at $76.90 a barrel.
