Crude Oil Heads for Fifth Weekly Advance in London on European Debt
Plan
Oil headed for a fifth weekly gain in London, the longest winning streak sinceMarch, on bets that a plan to contain Europes debt crisis will help shore up fuel
demand. Brent advanced after the European Central Bank said it worked with the
U.S., U.K., Japan and Switzerland to extend three-month loans to euro-area banks.
The 17 euro nations accounted for about 12 percent of global oil demand in 2010,
according to Bloomberg calculations based on BP Plcs Statistical Review of World
Energy. U.S. crude stockpiles dropped last week, a Sept. 14 Energy Department
report showed, after Tropical Storm Lee closed platforms in the Gulf of Mexico.
