Crude oil traded near its highest level in three months before a report forecast to show that U.S. crude inventories declined for the first time in three weeks.

Oil pared earlier losses of as much as 1.1 percent after a report showed that U.S. companies added more jobs than forecast in July. Analysts surveyed by Bloomberg News before a Department of Energy report today said stockpiles probably fell by 1.65 million barrels.
