IEA Sees '09 Oil Demand Slump Moderating

 

The IEA mentioned rising refinery activity and OPEC's decision in late May to stick to its current production targets as contributing factors to higher crude futures.

Benchmark crude for July delivery was up 13 cents to $71.46 by midmorning Thursday in Europe in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. It traded above $72 earlier. On Wednesday, the contract rose $1.32 to settle at $71.33.
