Crude Declines for a Third Day on Speculation OPEC Will Increase Quotas

By Ben Sharples - Jun 7, 2011 6:19 AM GMT+0700

Oil dropped for a third day in New York amid speculation OPEC may increase output quotas when it meets in Vienna tomorrow.

Futures slipped as much as 0.4 percent today after falling to the lowest in two weeks yesterday. The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries may increase production limits, Barclays Plc said June 6. Prices also declined amid signs fuel demand is faltering along with economic growth.

“Oil futures gave ground overnight on choppy trading,” economists at Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd., led by Warren Hogan, wrote in a note today. “There is speculation that OPEC may raise production targets this week, on concerns from some OPEC members that higher oil prices are curbing demand.”

Crude for July delivery slid as much as 36 cents to $98.65 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange and was at $98.74 at 9:10 a.m. Sydney time. The contract yesterday fell $1.21, or 1.2 percent, to $99.01. Prices are up 38 percent the past year.

Brent crude for July delivery lost $1.36, or 1.2 percent, to $114.48 a barrel on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange yesterday. Prices are 59 percent higher the past year.

The European benchmark contract traded at a premium of $15.47 a barrel to U.S. futures yesterday. The difference between front-month contracts in London and New York reached a record $19.54 on Feb. 21. It averaged 76 cents last year.

Oil Bets
Options traders increased bets that oil prices will fall further. The most-active option was the July $95 put, which rose 17 cents to 79 cents. The second-most active contract was the August $90 put, which climbed 13 cents to $1.05.

Brent has advanced 21 percent this year as unrest in the Middle East and North Africa toppled leaders in Tunisia and Egypt and spread to Libya. In Syria, state television reported yesterday that more than 120 members of the security forces have been killed in the northern town of Jisr al-Shughour.

Fuel Supplies
A report from the U.S. Energy Department tomorrow may show U.S. gasoline stockpiles climbed by 1 million barrels last week from 212.3 million, according to a Bloomberg News survey of analysts. Crude inventories probably dropped 1.5 million barrels, the survey shows.

The U.S. unemployment rate unexpectedly climbed to 9.1 percent in May and payrolls grew at the slowest pace in eight months, the Labor Department reported June 3. Employers added 54,000 jobs last month, after a revised 232,000 gain in April that was smaller than initially estimated. The median forecast in a Bloomberg News survey called for payrolls to rise 165,000.

The Energy Department is scheduled to release its Short- term Energy Outlook today. The department last month cut its forecast for global oil consumption for this year to 88.08 million barrels a day from 88.2 million estimated in April.
