US Cash Crude-Grades rise as domestic supply tightens
Sept 24 (Reuters) -Physically traded U.S. crude grades broadly rose on Tuesday, dealers said, on the second day of the volatile roll trading period, used by traders to square their positions and manage exposure.
U.S. crude oil and fuel stockpiles fell last week, according to market sources citing American Petroleum Institute figures.
Crude stocks fell by 4.34 million barrels in the week ended Sept. 20, the sources said on condition of anonymity. Gasoline inventories fell by 3.44 million barrels, and distillate stocks fell by 1.12 million barrels.
Investors await official U.S. oil stocks data from the Energy Information Administration on Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. EDT (1430 GMT).
Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Helene was expected to turn eastward on its track through the Caribbean and into the Gulf of Mexico, increasing the threat of high winds and heavy rains to Cuba and Florida but lessened the risk to U.S. offshore oil production, forecasters said.
Offshore producers have shut-in 16% of U.S. Gulf of Mexico oil and 11% of natural gas output. The numbers represent some 284,000 barrels per day (bpd) of crude and 208 million cubic feet per day of gas.
Elsewhere, Libya's crude oil exports have slumped to about 400,000 barrels per day (bpd) this month from August's 1.02 million bpd, port and shipping data show, as the OPEC member grapples with a political crisis that has slashed output.
