Oil closes at $ 56.69

Ecuadornews:

The intermediate oil of Texas (WTI) rose today by 1.30% and closed at 56.69 dollars per barrel, in a day in which natural gas fell more than 5% and ended at its lowest level since the end of October.

At the end of the live operations on the New York Mercantile Exchange (Nymex), WTI futures contracts for delivery in January, the reference month, rose 0.73 dollars compared to the previous closing.

Benchmark oil in the country recovered part of the lost ground the day, when it fell almost 3% and ended below the barrier of $ 56 after a larger than expected drop in the weekly reserves of crude oil in the United States. (I)
