Analysts said speculators built fresh positions after oil prices rebounded in Asia today but stayed below $45 a barrel as gains were limited by a strong dollar and data showing a decline in Chinese crude imports. This mainly led to rise in crudeoil prices in futures trade.

Meanwhile, West Texas Intermediate for December delivery gained 35 cents to $44.64 while Brent crude was up 38 cents $47.80 a barrel.
