SINGAPORE: World oil prices steadied in Asian trade on Thursday after a rebound of more than four dollars driven by an unexpected decline in US petrol stockpiles, analysts said.
New York’s main contract, light sweet crude for September delivery, fell 11 cents to 126.66 dollars a barrel.
The contract rallied 4.58 dollars to 126.77 dollars at the close of floor trading Wednesday on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
