Moneycontrol Bureau 12:20pm Brent crude Update

Brent crude gave up some of its gains and dropped toward USD 62 a barrel today in volatile trading, which saw prices fall to a 5-1/2 year low after the IEA cut its outlook and then rise more than a dollar on hopes of improving manufacturing data.

Brent for January delivery LCOc1 was at USD 62.05 a barrel at 0425 GMT (11:25 p.m. EST), up 20 cents from its Friday's settlement but 90 cents below the intra-day high of USD 62.95 a barrel.

Earlier, Brent fell to near USD 60 after the International Energy Agency forecast further price falls and OPEC's chief defended the group's decision not to cut its output target.

US crude for January delivery CLc1 was trading at 57.88 a barrel, almost flat with its last settlement, after hitting a low of USD 56.25 earlier in the day - the lowest since May 2009.

The volatile trading was a result of conflicting factors, with economic indicators supporting prices while supply factors acted as price breaks, reports Reuters.
