Crude oil may decline next week on speculation that U.S. refineries will bolster supplies after an end-of-year clearing of storage, a Bloomberg News survey showed.

Seventeen of 40 analysts, or 43 percent, forecast crude oil will fall through Jan. 21. Fourteen respondents, or 35 percent, predicted prices will rise and nine estimated there would be little change. Last week, 52 percent said futures would drop.
