Oil Nears Worst Losing Run in Almost Two Years

Oil headed for the longest run of Weekly losses since August 2015 as U.S. crude stockpiles remain stubbornly high and as Libyan production climbs toward the most in four years.

Futures were little changed in New York, down 3 percent for a fourth weekly decline. U.S. inventories fell less than Forecast last week, keeping supplies more than 100 million barrels above the five-year average, according to data from the Energy Information Administration on Wednesday. Libya, exempt from the OPEC-led deal to cut supply, will boost output to 1 million barrels a day by the end of July, according to National Oil Co.

Oil slumped to the lowest close in seven months this week as concerns grew that rising U.S. supplies will offset the production curbs by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies including Russia. New non-OPEC output next year will be more than enough to meet demand growth, the International Energy Agency said Wednesday in its first forecast for 2018.
