Oil Prices Rise in Volatile Trading
By Akane Otani, Sarah McFarlane and Dan Strumpf
U.S. oil prices rose Thursday after an inventory report released earlier in the week sent traders mixed signals about supply levels in the market.
Government data released Wednesday had surprised traders, showing gasoline inventories fell by 3.3 million barrels -- far more than expected. The unexpectedly large drop in inventories helped ease some analysts' concerns about a supply glut and put oil prices on course for a second consecutive session of gains on Thursday.
Light, sweet crude for September delivery rose $1.10, or 2.69%, to settle at $41.93 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent, the global benchmark, gained $1.19, or 2.76%, to settle at $44.29 a barrel.
