"Crude oil rose for a fourth day in New York as the falling dollar spurred investors to buy commodities as a counter against inflation and an industry report showed a decline in U.S. inventories.
Oil also gained after OPEC agreed to maintain output targets. The dollar weakened further after slipping yesterday to an almost one-year low against the currencies of six major trading partners. The American Petroleum Institute reported U.S. stockpiles fell 7.22 million barrels last week, the biggest drop since Sept. 5, 2008."
