Baku– APA-Economics. Crude oil fell for a second day as higher U.S. fuel stockpiles raised concern gains in prices may have outpaced the recovery in the global economy, Bloomberg reported.

Oil slipped to its lowest in nearly a week before a report tomorrow in the U.S., the world’s largest energy consumer, which may show retail spending barely changed in August if gasoline and autos were excluded. The country’s stockpiles of distillate have climbed to their highest levels since 1983, according to Energy Department data last week.

Crude oil for October delivery fell as much as $1.24, or 1.8 percent, to $68.05 a barrel in after-hours electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract traded at $68.38 at 1:06 p.m. in Singapore.

Futures tumbled 3.7 percent to $69.29 a barrel on Sept. 11, dropping the most in two weeks and ending a four-day climb. Asian shares declined today, mirroring a pullback on Wall Street that reflected concern over earnings prospects.

Brent crude oil for October settlement fell as much as 92 cents, or 1.4 percent, to $66.77 a barrel on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange. The contract traded at $67.10 at 1:04 p.m. Singapore time. It dropped 3.1 percent to $67.69 on Sept. 11, the biggest decline since Aug. 31.
