Inventories of crude oil are likely to drop for a second-straight week in the U.S., pushing up oil prices on Tuesday, according to published reports.
In anticipation of a not-yet released report from the U.S. Department of Energy stating supplies dropped by as many as 3 million barrels because of tempests manifesting in the Gulf of Mexico, the energy commodity gained in value in the U.S., which is the globe's top consumer of oil. Bloomberg reports the immediate climb was roughly 2 percent within hours of the opening bell on Tuesday morning.
