Crude oil prices slipped yesterday afternoon on the back of rising fuel inventories. CO2 allowances also fell from Tuesday, while the coal and gas markets saw mainly gains.
Opec's decision to leave output targets unchanged lifted crude oil prices, while an unexpected surge in US fuel stockpiles increased concern that demand is slowing, Bloomberg reports. Gasoline futures declined 1.5 percent yesterday after a government report showed inventories of the fuel jumped 3.99 million barrels, six times more than analysts forecast and the biggest gain this year.
