Oil prices settled a few cents higher on Tuesday to notch a third-straight session climb, buoyed by weakness in the U.S. dollar, continued declines in OPEC production and winter weather on the East Coast.

April WTI crude tacked on 3 cents, or less than 0.1%, to settle at $62.60 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
