Oil prices hover near US$63 a barrel
Published in Saudi Press Agency on 28 - 09 - 2006

Oil prices fluctuated near US$63 a barrel Thursday after jumping nearly US$2 overnight. Light, sweet crude for November delivery fell 19 cents to
US$62.77 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York
Mercantile Exchange by midday in Europe. The contract
settled Wednesday at US$62.96 on the New York Mercantile
Exchange, a gain of US$1.95 for the day, and the price
peaked at US$63.21 during Thursday's early trading.
November Brent crude on London's ICE Futures exchange rose 32 cents to US$62.53 a barrel.
In other Nymex trading, heating oil prices fell 0.11 cent
to US$1.7030 a gallon. Gasoline futures fell 1.88 cents to
US$1.5211. Natural gas futures rose 1.5 cents to US$5.684
per thousand cubic feet, after plunging 7 percent Wednesday to the lowest level since December 2002, the Associated Press reported.
U.S. inventories of natural gas are high due to last
year's mild winter, and prices are under additional
pressure because of fears about possible hurricane-related
supply disruptions in the Gulf of Mexico. Nymex natural gas
futures settled Wednesday at $4.201 per 1,000 cubic feet,
the lowest close since Dec. 3, 2002, the Associated Press reported.
