RTRS: Brent crude rises more, U.S. turns higher after EIA data
(Reuters) - Brent crude futures extended their gains and U.S. crude turned higher on Thursday after the U.S. Energy Information Administration's weekly inventory report showed a bigger-than expected drop in crude oil stocks in the United States last week.
Brent August crude was up $1.57 at $101.34 a barrel at 11:08 a.m. EDT (1508 GMT). U.S. August crude was up 24 cents at $87.90 a barrel. (Reporting by Robert Gibbons; editing by John Wallace)
