Record Indian Oil Imports Spurs Further Oil Gains

Brent crude futures were up 21 cents, or 0.4 percent, at $52.62 a barrel at 0639 GMT.

U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were up 15 cents, or 0.3 percent, from their last settlement at $50.94 per barrel.

Traders said that prices were boosted by record Indian oil imports.
