Excerpt:

BANGKOK Oil prices rose Wednesday after a fierce storm caused havoc across the northeastern U.S. and was threatening to inflict more damage inland. Concerns about oil supplies pushed benchmark crude for December delivery up 78 cents to $86. 46 per barrel at late afternoon Bangkok time in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract rose 14 cents to finish at $85. 68 a barrel in New York. Brent crude, used to price many international varieties of oil, rose 46 cents to $109. 54 per barrel. A hurricane that evolved into a winter superstorm, Sandy cut power to more than 8 million homes, shut down 70 percent of East Coast oil refineries and inflicted worse-than-expected damage in the New York metropolitan area. That area produces about 10 percent of U.S. economic output.
