Oil barely budges
Online Edition
The price of oil barely budged yesterday after falling sharply last week on ample supplies and muted demand.
Benchmark US crude for December delivery rose 1 cent to close at US$94.62 on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Ample supplies of crude have weighed on the price in recent weeks. The Energy Department said Wednesday that US supplies increased 4.1 million barrels in the previous week. Over five weeks, supplies rose by more than 25 million barrels.
US refineries are undergoing fall maintenance, which has crimped demand for crude.
"We are now at the nadir of the fall refinery maintenance season. Within the next couple of weeks demand will return to the market. To this effect, the return of refinery demand could help support values at current levels," Schork Report analysts said in an energy markets commentary.
Brent crude, a benchmark for international crude also used by US refineries, was down 50 cents at US$105.41 on the ICE Futures exchange in London.
In other energy futures trading on Nymex:
— Wholesale gasoline lost 2 cents to US$2.53 a gallon.
— Heating oil dropped 1 cent to US$2.87 a gallon.
— Natural gas shed 7 cents to US$3.45 per 1,000 cubic feet.
