New York, Feb 14 (IANS): Oil prices eked out modest gains as market participants weighed Russia's plan to cut its oil production.

The West Texas Intermediate (WTI) for March delivery rose 42 cents, or 0.53 per cent, to settle at $80.14 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent crude for April delivery added 22 cents, or 0.25 per cent, to close at $86.61 a barrel on the London ICE Futures Exchange.
