Futures for the West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude fell sharply on Thursday, declining for the second time in three days after reports showed that fuel supplies rose in the US, the world\u2019s largest oil consumer.<\/p>\n

Prices for the North American West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude for October delivery fell 0.73% to trade at $94.85 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract rose 2.9% to $95.54 on Wednesday, the biggest gain since August 2013.<\/span><\/p>\n
