Crude Oil Little Changed After Rise on Russian Export Concern

Published: 22 September 2004 y., Wednesday
Crude oil was little changed in New York after rising to a one-month high yesterday on concern Russian exports will be disrupted after utilities cut some power supplies to OAO Yukos Oil Co., the country's top producer. Electricity sales were reduced to Yukos because of past-due bills, regional generator OAO Tyumenenergo said yesterday on its Web site, a day after Yukos said it may have to halt some exports to China. U.S. oil supplies probably fell for an eighth straight week, according to analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. That would be the longest drop since 1988. Crude oil for November delivery traded at $46.80 in electronic after-hours trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange at 9:04 a.m. Sydney time. It rose 57 cents, or 1.2 percent, to $46.76 yesterday. Yesterday, oil for October delivery rose 75 cents, or 1.6 percent, to $47.10 a barrel, the highest close since Aug. 20. The October contract expired yesterday. Prices reached a record $49.40 a barrel during intraday trading on the same date. Futures have gained 10 percent in seven sessions. The November contract may find so-called resistance in electronic trading at $47.93 a barrel, according to a two-month Fibonacci graph, a trading tool used by chartists.
