Ahead in the session, US manufacturing PMI tracked by market and the weekly report on US rig-count by driller Baker-Hughes are due.

WTI levels to watch

The barrel of WTI is now up 0.41% at $52.08 with the next hurdle at $54.32 (high Feb.17) and then $55.05 (high Feb.3). On the downside, a breach of $49.82 (low Feb.19) would expose $49.14 (low Feb.12).
