RTRS: U.S. crude futures pare losses on EIA oil data
NEW YORK, Sept 15 (Reuters) - U.S. crude oil futures pared losses slightly after a government inventory report showed crude oil stocks fell, countering an industry report on Tuesday that showed stocks rose.
U.S. crude oil inventories fell 2.49 million barrels last week, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration's report on Wednesday. [EIA/S]
Crude futures prices had been pressured earlier after Enbridge Inc (ENB.TO) said it completed repairs to its Line 6A Canada-U.S. crude pipeline, with traders expecting a restart soon, and by the dollar's broad strength after Japanese authorities intervened to weaken the yen.
On the New York Mercantile Exchange, October crude CLV0 fell $1.10, or 1.43 percent, to $75.70 a barrel by 10:38 a.m. EDT (1438 GMT), having traded from $74.66 to $76.65.
Crude futures prices were down about $1.47 when the EIA report was released. (Reporting by Robert Gibbons)
