At midday, the light sweet crude for December delivery gained 1.41 dollars to 100.78 dollars on the New York Mercantile Exchange. - It was expected a decline in stocks, according to a strategist at TD Securities, referring to the figures from the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE), which are expected in the afternoon.
Analysts surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires, said that the DoE should reflect a decrease of 800,000 barrels of crude inventories in the U.S. for the week ended Nov. 11, a decrease of 1.1 million barrels of reserves of gas, and a drop of 3 million barrels in distillate stocks, including diesel and heating oil.
