Oil Trades Near $82 After Rising on Economic Recovery Optimism

Crude oil traded near $82 a barrel in New York after rising on optimism fuel demand will increase amid improved prospects for an economic recovery in the U.S., the world’s biggest energy consumer.

Oil erased a decline of more than $2 yesterday and climbed 0.8 percent as U.S. stocks rose and the dollar weakened against the euro, increasing the appeal of commodities as an alternative investment. Gasoline supplies probably declined for a third week, according to a Bloomberg News survey of analysts before the release of an Energy Information Administration report tomorrow.

“The EIA data tends to suggest that oil demand in the U.S. is recovering, particularly gasoline, but it’s still at low levels,” said David Moore, commodity strategist at Commonwealth Bank of Australia Ltd. in Sydney. Crude oil “went below the $80 level and it attracted a bit of buying at that lower level.”

Crude oil for May delivery was at $81.74 a barrel, up 14 cents, in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange at 10:24 a.m. Sydney time. Yesterday, the contract rose 63 cents to settle at $81.60. April futures expired yesterday.

The dollar traded at $1.3556 per euro at 10:25 a.m. Sydney time, from $1.3558 yesterday. Europe’s common currency rose from a three-week low as European leaders tried to allay concerns that they were unprepared to aid Greece, easing pressure on higher-yielding assets.

“There was a bit of benefit from currency movements and a bit of positive sentiment from the equities markets for oil,” Moore said.

Gasoline Supplies

Gasoline inventories probably declined 1.75 million barrels from 227.3 million the previous week, according to the median of 10 estimates before an Energy Department report.

U.S. crude stockpiles probably rose 1.43 million barrels, gaining for an eighth week, according to the Bloomberg News survey. It would be the longest stretch of consecutive advances since May.

The Energy Department is scheduled to release its weekly report at 10:30 a.m. tomorrow.

“I don’t see with the fundamentals that oil prices should be squeezed dramatically higher,” Moore said.

Oil dropped as much as 2.6 percent yesterday and the U.S. currency rose to the highest level since March 2 after German Chancellor Angela Merkel said investors shouldn’t expect a European Union summit this week to agree on aid for Greece.

Crude oil also came under pressure as China, the world’s fastest-growing energy consumer, said that record oil imports in February boosted its stockpiles by 5.2 percent from January.

The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries has spare production capacity of more than 6 million barrels a day, Germanico Pinto, OPEC’s president and Ecuador’s oil minister, said at a conference yesterday in Geneva. That’s a “comfortable cushion of spare capacity,” he said. The group controls about 40 percent of global crude supply.

Brent crude for May settlement gained 66 cents, or 0.8 percent, to $80.54 a barrel on the ICE Futures Europe exchange in London yesterday.
