West Texas Intermediate crude for December delivery added 67 cents to $72.36 on the New York Merc, while Brent for January added 71 cents to $75.63 (all figures in this para U.S.). Western Canadian Select traded at a discount of $13.10 to WTI, down from a discount of $12.20. Natural gas for December lost five cents to $2.69. The TSX energy index added 1.28 points to close at 279.46.
