Oil rose

West Texas Intermediate crude climbed on optimism that U.S. lawmakers will agree on a deal to raise the debt ceiling and avoid a default.

Futures rose as much as 0.8 percent on optimism that a framework being negotiated by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell will end the 16-day-old government shutdown and extend U.S. borrowing authority, which lapses tomorrow. WTI and stocks extend gains as the National Review reported that House Speaker John Boehner was said to agree to take up a Senate plan to end the impasse.
