U.S. Oil Inventories Fall Less Than Forecast
U.S. inventories of crude oil declined less than expected during the week that ended Dec. 14, according to data released Wednesday by the Energy Information Administration.
Crude-oil stockpiles decreased by 497,000 barrels to 441.5 million barrels, and are about 7% above the five-year average for this time of year, the EIA said. Analysts surveyed by The Wall Street Journal had predicted crude stockpiles would fall by 3.1 million barrels from the prior week.
