[WTB RSS]

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Crude-oil futures settled at their best in a week as tensions in the Middle East continued to simmer and the dollar was weaker. Crude for March delivery added $1.37, or 1.6%, to $86.36 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Natural gas declined 1.4% after a government report showed a smaller-than-expected decline in inventories.
