Oil prices were mixed in Asia this morning as fears over the euro zone debt crisis returned to haunt the markets after a rebound the previous day.
Investors were also anticipating the results of a meeting of the US Federal Reserve on further measures to perk up the world's biggest economy and oil consumer.
US crude was down 28 cents at $86.64 a barrel, but Brent North Sea crude turned higher by two cents to $110.56.
Prices had bounced back overnight although traders continue to be nagged by persistent concerns over a possible debt default by Greece, which could send shockwaves across global financial markets.
