Oil dropped from the highest close in more than a week before a report forecast to show that crude and gasoline stockpiles increased in the U.S.

Futures slipped as much as 1 percent, the first decline in three days, after failing to settle above $100 a barrel yesterday. A U.S. Energy Department report tomorrow will probably show oil inventories rose for the first time in a month, while gasoline supplies climbed for a third week, according to a Bloomberg News survey.
