Chinese plan to boost its economy helps oil prices advance

News from the Peoples Bank of China that a package of measures are aimed at boosting the country’s economy helped oil prices advance Monday.

West Texas Intermediate crude increased by 1.7% to settle at $71.56 a barrel.

Brent crude for November also added 1.7% to settle at $75.17 a barrel.

The price moves were supported by signs that algorithm-based traders were unwinding bearish positions, according to RigZone.com.

The Chinese banking moves are that country’s strongest effort to hit this year’s annual growth target.  Concerns about the Chinese economy have been a major factor in oil prices falling by about 12% this quarter.
