U.S. crude-oil inventories probably rose to the highest level in more than three months as refineries idled units to perform seasonal maintenance, a Bloomberg News survey showed.
Stockpiles climbed 1.5 million barrels, or 0.4 percent, in the seven days ended Oct. 15 from 360.5 million a week earlier, according to the median of 15 analyst estimates before an Energy Department report tomorrow. That would leave supplies at the most since the week ended June 25. Thirteen respondents forecast a gain and two a decline.
