    DJ Oil Hits Two-Month High as U.S. Crude Inventories Slide

    U.S. oil prices rose to a two-month high Wednesday after a weekly report showed U.S. inventories of crude oil dropping to a 3 1/2 -year low.

    Light, sweet crude for October delivery closed 1.8% higher at $71.12 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, for its fifth rise in the past seven sessions and the highest closing level since July 10. Brent crude, the global benchmark, rose 0.5% to $79.40 a barrel.

    The Energy Information Administration reported Wednesday that U.S. crude oil stockpiles fell by 2.1 million barrels last week to 394 million barrels. That marks a fifth straight weekly decline and is the lowest total since February 2015. It is also 142 million barrels less than a record-high inventory of 536 million barrels in March 2017.
