Oil prices were mixed in quiet Christmas eve trade in Asia, coming off two-year highs buoyed by upbeat US consumer confidence figures, analysts said.
New York's main contract, light sweet crude for delivery in February, shed 13 cents to 91.38 dollars per barrel after hitting 91.63 dollars in intraday trade on Thursday, its highest level since October 2008.
Brent North Sea crude for February delivery advanced 18 cents to 94.43 dollars. Its price had soared to 94.54 dollars in intraday trade Thursday -- a level also last seen in early October 2008.
