Oil prices were stable today as support from a weaker dollar and recovering Chinese crude imports met renewed demand concerns linked to China's stringent Covid containment approach.

Brent crude futures rose by six cents, or 0.06% to $98.63 a barrel today. US West Texas Intermediate crude was at $92.60 a barrel, down 1 cent, or 0.01%.

While China's imports and exports unexpectedly contracted in October, its crude oil imports rebounded to the highest level since May.
