Oil prices slip as concerns over hurricane damage ease




Oil prices slipped on Tuesday after a hurricane that hit a key U.S. oil-producing hub in Texas caused less damage than markets had expected, easing concerns over supply disruption.

Brent futures fell 49 cents or 0.6% to $85.26 a barrel by 0852 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude slipped 54 cents or 0.7% to $81.79.
