And the importance of stocks and the price (both figures below are YoY changes)...Crude oil futures prices sold off sharply early Wednesday, dropping below $69 a barrel after U.S. weekly data showed rising inventories and a sharp drop in demand. Light, sweet crude oil for November delivery had been down about $1.25 a barrel ahead of the data release Wednesday, under pressure from strength in the dollar.
But crude dropped swiftly through the $70 and $69 levels after the Energy Information Administration reported a 2.8-million-barrel rise in crude oil inventories for the week ended Sept. 18. Analysts surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires had expected crude stocks to drop by 1.5 million barrels.
