NEW YORK, Sept. 8 (Xinhua) -- Oil prices posted solid gains Thursday after official data showed a surprisingly large drawdown in U.S. oil stockpiles.
U.S. crude inventories dropped 14.5 million barrels last week to 511.6 million barrels, the biggest weekly drop in stockpiles since January 1999, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) said in its weekly report Thursday.
Tropical Storm Hermine, which threatened the Gulf Coast refining region last week, scuttled some U.S. oil production and limited imports and shipping, according to media reports.
Meanwhile, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and non-OPEC producers such as Russia are expected to discuss an output freeze at informal talks in Algeria on Sept. 26-28.
The West Texas Intermediate for October delivery jumped 2.12 U.S. dollars to settle at 47.62 dollars a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, while Brent crude for November delivery soared 2.01 dollars to close at 49.99 dollars a barrel on the London ICE Futures Exchange. Enditem
NEW YORK, June 22 (Xinhua) -- Oil prices ended higher on Thursday as investors bet the UK will vote to remain in the European Union in the closely-watched Britain's Brexit referendum.
Voters have been going to polling stations Thursday to cast their votes to decide whether Britain will stay in or leave the European Union.
The ballot counting will start as soon as the polls close at 10 p.m. local time (2100 GMT). A total of 382 counting areas will be set up, with 380 located in England, Wales and Scotland, one in Northern Ireland and one in Gibraltar.
The outcome is expected to be officially declared at the Manchester Town Hall in the early hours of Friday.
According to six main opinion polls from June 18 to 22, the "Leave" camp was tied with the "Remain" camp. The crude prices rose on Thursday as investors' appetite for riskier assets like oil increased after concerns about Britain's possible exit from the European Union diminished.
Oil prices were also supported by a weaker dollar on Thursday. The dollar index, which measures the greenback against six major peers, was down 0.17 percent at 93.552 in late trading.
A weaker U.S. dollar lifted investor sentiment, which made the dollar-denominated oil more attractive for holders of other currencies.
The West Texas Intermediate for August delivery added 98 cents to settle at 50.11 U.S. dollars a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, while Brent crude for August delivery increased 1.03 U.S. dollars to close at 50.91 dollars a barrel on the London ICE Futures Exchange. Enditem

There are a lot of options available in pointe shoes now, and if I were a young student I would be mightily confused. And yet relieved, too that there might be a shoe that will fit exactly right toy story vans uk , and not be too painful to work in.

At a student's first fitting vans sk8 hi slim pink , a lot of time must be taken. If a fitter or a dance teacher is available, that is a real plus. Not all stores may have experienced fitters.

The length and tapering of the toes, the width across the metatarsals, the height of the arch vans sk8 hi sale uk , and the depth of the foot must all be fitted correctly. Badly fitting shoes can contribute to sprains and permanent injuries. Good technique can make up for bad fits, but the tolerance of the resulting pain is a waste of the dancer's concentration.
