Oil Down In Asia On Stockpile Forecasts, Euro Zone Fears

SINGAPORE: Oil was down in quiet Asian trade today on forecasts of aUSstockpile gain as well as amplified worries over the euro zone afterSpainannounced that it had fallen into recession, analysts said.
New York’s main contract, light sweet crude for delivery in June, shed 15 cents to $104.72 per barrel and Brent North Sea crude for June delivery retreated 16 cents to $119.31.
Stock markets inChina,Hong Kong,India,Malaysia,Philippines,Singapore,South Korea,TaiwanandThailandare closed today for a public holiday.
Expectations of a build-up inUScrude inventories coupled with heightened worries over the economic state of the euro zone weighed on crude prices, said Jason Hughes, head of premium client management for IG Markets Singapore.
“The estimates coming in that US stockpiles would have increased yet again and also the uncertainty that still remains over the eurozone and the Spanish officially entering recession for the second time since 2009” hit crude prices, he told AFP.
An analyst poll forecast that US crude stockpiles would rise by 2.3 million barrels for the week ended April 27, representing another increase in inventories after a larger than expected spike recorded last week.
The stockpile gains indicate flagging energy demand in the world’s largest oil consumer, which is bearish for oil markets.
Meanwhile,Spain’s announcement late Monday that it had officially entered a recession after its economy contracted for the second straight quarter aggravated trader fears over the state of the troubled euro zone economy.
