<Crude nears $26 on inventory declines

Sharp declines in last week's petroleum inventories pulled crude futures prices toward $26 a barrel in
after-hours action Tuesday.

After the market closed, the American Petroleum Institute reported that crude inventories, as of the
week ended March 22, dropped by 6.22 million barrels.

The market had been expecting a drop of only as much as 2 million barrels, according to MV Energy
in Princeton, N.J., although analysts at IFR Pegasus predicted a rise of as much as 2 million barrels.

If the Energy Department confirms the "incredible" draw early Wednesday, crude oil could top $26 a
barrel, said Phil Flynn, senior energy analyst at Alaron.com in Chicago.

In after-hours trading, shortly after the data were released, May crude rose by as much as 53 cents
to $25.89 a barrel. April unleaded gasoline tacked on 0.92 cent to 81 cents a gallon and April heating
oil added 0.12 cent to 65.8 cents a gallon.>
