SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Crude-oil futures wavered between small gains and losses Wednesday as U.S. equities had a weak start, and gold futures gained, recouping some of their previous session's losses. Crude for November delivery CL1X -0.09% recently added 11 cents, or 0.1%, to $88.45 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Gold for December delivery GC1Z +0.36% added $5.90, or 0.4%, to $1,658.90 an ounce on the Comex division of the Nymex. The action in both commodities follow a loss of 1.4% for gold on Tuesday, and a gain of 2.3% for oil, which closed Tuesday at a four-week high.
