Washington (DPA-AFX) – In the United States, crude oil reserves were lower than expected last week.

Analysts expected a decline of only 3.6 million barrels.
Petrol cargo fell 1.9 million to 218.1 million barrels. Stocks for filters (heating oil, Diesel) 1.7 million less than 131.9 million barrels.
