Oil fell

West Texas Intermediate fell for the first time in three days amid forecasts that U.S. crude inventories rose to the most since June.

Prices dropped as much as 0.9 percent as stockpiles in the world’s biggest oil-consuming country climbed for an eighth week. Inventories added 650,000 barrels through Nov. 8, according to a Bloomberg survey before an Energy Information Administration report on Nov. 14. The U.S. will become the largest oil producer by 2015, the International Energy Agency said today. Gasoline prices advanced for a third day.
