Oil prices stage early-morning recovery

NEW YORK, Sept. 15 (UPI) -- Crude oil prices staged a recovery in early Thursday trading on a smaller-than-expected build in U.S. inventories, though the rebound may be short-lived.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration reported Wednesday that crude oil stocks in the country declined by around 500 million barrels. While relatively small, the draw was not what market players expected after U.S. Gulf of Mexico operations returned to normal in the wake of Tropical Storm Hermine.
