Oil climbed again, with mixed news on global inventories offset by expectations of a prolonged market rally into the summer.
Futures in New York climbed as much as 1.4%, wiping out an earlier loss. The American Petroleum Institute reported crude inventories increased by 1.03 million barrels last week, though stockpiles at a key European storage hub are at their lowest level since September, according to Genscape. The structure of the futures curve continues to indicate tighter supply.
