Oil prices settled higher Wednesday to recoup some of their losses from a day earlier. Analysts polled by S&P Global Platts expect the Energy Information Administration on Thursday to report a decline of 425,000 barrels in last week’s U.S. crude supplies. That would mark a ninth straight weekly fall. February West Texas Intermediate crude rose 24 cents, or 0.4%, to settle at $63.97 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, after falling 0.9% Tuesday.
