US Cash Crude-Grades rise as US crude stocks drop, global supply to tighten
Sept 5 (Reuters) -U.S. oil grades rose on Thursday, dealers said, after domestic crude stocks fell by more than expected, and global oil supplies were set to tighten.
U.S. crude inventories, excluding the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, fell by 6.9 million barrels to 418.3 million barrels in the week ending Aug. 30, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) said, compared with analysts' expectations in a Reuters poll for a 993,000-barrel draw.
Elsewhere, OPEC+ agreed to delay a planned oil output increase for October and November, the producers group said on Thursday after crude prices hit their lowest in nine months, adding that it could further pause or reverse the hikes if needed.
Libyan oil exports remained largely halted on Thursday, shipping data showed, but some tankers were being allowed to load crude from storage, with output still curtailed amid a political standoff over the central bank and oil revenue.
Adding pressure on the demand side, U.S. oil refiners are expected to have about 529,000 barrels per day (bpd) of capacity offline in the week ending Sept. 6, decreasing available refining capacity by 104,000 bpd, research company IIR Energy said on Wednesday.
Offline capacity is expected to rise to 659,000 bpd in the week ending Sept. 13, IIR added.
