Oil rebounded from the biggest drop in a week amid signs that prices near a 5 1/2-year low are slowing drilling in the U.S.
Futures rose as much as 3 percent in New York and 2.9 percent in London. BHP Billiton Ltd., the largest overseas investor in U.S. shale, said it will cut the number of active drill rigs in the nation by almost 40 percent. The rapid decline in oil prices may deter investment in all types of energy needed to meet future demand, the head of the International Energy Agency said.
"The market is trying to stabilize," said Tariq Zahir, a New York-based commodity fund manager at Tyche Capital Advisors. "You are seeing the rig count coming down. Production will take some time to come off. The U.S. economy is looking pretty good and demand will pick up."
Oil has dropped more than 10 percent this year following a decline of almost 50 percent last year, the most since the 2008 financial crisis. The U.S. pumped crude at the fastest rate in more than three decades and the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries resisted calls to reduce supply.
West Texas Intermediate for March delivery gained $1.14, or 2.5 percent, to $47.61 a barrel at 10:08 a.m. on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The February contract expired Tuesday after falling $2.30 to $46.39. The volume of all futures was 1.6 percent below the 100-day average.
Brent for March settlement climbed $1.07, or 2.2 percent, to $49.06 a barrel on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange. The European benchmark crude traded at a premium of $1.43 to WTI.

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
