U.S. crude supplies probably rose a second week as imports increased and refineries operated at the lowest rate since November, a Bloomberg News survey showed.

Inventories climbed 1.2 million barrels, or 0.4 percent, in the seven days ended Jan. 21 from 335.7 million a week earlier, according to the median of 15 analyst estimates before tomorrow. Twelve of the respondents forecast an increase and three projected a decline.
