Analysts said the rise in crude oil futures was largely in tandem with a firming trend in Asia after a bullish US stockpiles report raised hopes of resurgent demand in the world's top crude consumer.

Meanwhile, West Texas Intermediate crude oil for the August delivery advanced by 25 cents at USD 101.45, while Brent crude for September gained two cents to USD 107.19 a barrel in mid-morning trade on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
