NYMEX-Crude dips under $78 in thin U.S. holiday trade

26.11.2009 , Reuters

TOKYO, Nov 26 (Reuters) - U.S. crude futures slipped below $78 a barrel on Thursday, after surging by more than 2 percent the previous day, paring gains in light trading during the U.S. holiday.

FUNDAMENTALS

* NYMEX crude for January delivery <CLc1> fell 32 cents to $77.64 a barrel, after settling up $1.94 on Wednesday, when a sliding dollar and a government report showing a build in crude stockpiles supported prices. [ID:nGEE5AO0YD]

The New York Mercantile Exchange floor trading is closed on Thursday for the U.S. Thanksgiving Day holiday and will have an abbreviated session on Friday, but some electronic trading will take place.

* The U.S. Energy Information Administration's (EIA) weekly inventory report showed on Wednesday crude oil stockpiles rose 1.0 million barrels last week, a little less than an analyst forecast of a 1.2 million-barrel build. [EIA/S]

The figure was also lower than an industry inventory report released on Tuesday that showed crude stocks rose 3.3 million barrels. [API/S]

* Prices were buoyed on Wednesday when the U.S. dollar fell to a 15-month low after U.S. data on jobless claims, personal consumption and new home sales fed economic optimism. [USD/]

Consumer spending rose more than expected in the world's largest economy, while new jobless benefits claims dropped. New U.S. home sales in October rose to their highest level in a year. [ID:nN25346193]
