U.S. crude settles slightly higher after seesaw session
NEW YORK, Jan 18 (Reuters) - U.S. crude futures edged up on Friday in choppy trading as geopolitical threats to supply and a possible deal to temporarily lift the U.S. debt ceiling supported prices, while a stronger dollar and weak consumer sentiment data limited gains.
