MTECHTIPS:-Crude Oil Prices Settle Higher as US Crude Supplies Fall Ahead of OPEC Meeting
MTECHTIPS- Crude oil prices settled higher on Wednesday after data showed crude stockpiles fell for the first time in three weeks, while a disruption to a major pipeline in Canada lifted sentiment. On the New York Mercantile Exchange for December delivery rose 2.1% to settle at $58.02 a barrel, while on London's Intercontinental Exchange, gained 1.17% to trade at $63.30 a barrel. Crude oil prices settled at two-and-a-half year highs as investors cheered a report showing crude supplies fell more-than-estimated, while gasoline stockpiles rose marginally last week, easing recent concerns that a ramp-up in US production would add to the glut in supplies. Inventories of U.S. crude fell by roughly 1.9 million barrels for the week ended Nov. 18, beating expectations of 1.6 million barrels. Crude oil stockpiles fell for the first time in three weeks. Gasoline inventories – one of the products that crude is refined into – by 44,000 barrels, less-than-estimates for rise of 737,000 barrels, while supplies of distillate – the class of fuels that includes diesel and – by about 269,000 barrels, confounding expectations for a draw of 1.2 million barrels. The rally in oil prices comes as the Opec meeting slated for Nov. 30 draws closer amid expectations that Opec will agree to extend its production cuts beyond March, when the current phase of output curbs is set to expire
