The latest report on U.S. crude supply data suggests demand in the world's biggest economy is sluggish. The American Petroleum Institute said late Tuesday that crude inventories rose 4.6 million barrels last week while analysts surveyed by Platts, the energy information arm of McGraw-Hill Cos., had predicted an increase of 2 million barrels. Inventories of gasoline fell 2.3 million barrels last week while distillates rose 924,000 barrels, the API said. The Energy Department's Energy Information Administration reports its weekly supply data later Wednesday. In other energy trading, heating oil rose 0.6 cent to $3.19 per gallon and gasoline futures added 2.4 cents at $3.25 per gallon. Natural gas fell 2.8 cents at $2.33 per 1,000 cubic feet.
