The American Petroleum Institute is scheduled to announce its weekly crude and oil products supply data later Tuesday. Analysts surveyed by Platts, the energy information arm of McGraw-Hill Cos., predict crude inventories fell 300,000 barrels while gasoline stocks dropped 2 million barrels, signs that energy demand may be improving.
The Energy Department’s Energy Information Administration reports its weekly supply data Wednesday.
After jumping from below $78 in June, crude has bounced around near $90 for the last few weeks as investors weigh weak global economic growth against possible monetary and fiscal stimulus measures.
“We’re stuck once again in a range,” Carl Larry of Oil Outlooks and Opinions said in a report. “It tells me one thing; we are where we should be. That means I think when all the static is cleared, $90 a barrel is the porridge that is not too hot or not too cold.”
In other Nymex energy trading, wholesale gasoline futures were down 1.6 cents at $2.92 a gallon and heating oil slid 1.2 cents to $2.91. Natural gas was down 5.1 cents at $2.83 per 1,000 cubic feet.
