IN THE NEWS / Oil Prices Jump On Rumours Of Meeting

By AP

NEW YORK -- Crude oil prices soared yesterday on the New York Mercantile Exchange after two surveys indicated a drop in oil supplies.

Inventory reports by both the American Petroleum Institute and the U.S. Energy Department showed a drop in oil supply by nearly 15 million barrels last week.

Rumours about a proposed meeting among OPEC leaders to discuss further production cuts also pushed prices upward.

Light sweet crude oil for delivery in February rose 81 cents to $12.80 US a barrel. The benchmark West Texas Intermediate price jumped 72 cents yesterday to close at $12.70 US.

News reports say that the Saudis, Iranians and Venezuelans are planning to meet at the end of January.

In London, North Sea Brent Blend crude closed at $11.46 US a barrel, up 93 cents.
