LONDON — Oil prices rose sharply on Wednesday, rebounding from recent lows as traders took their cue from soaring global stock markets and continued nuclear concerns over key crude producer Iran.

 

In late afternoon London deals, Brent North Sea crude for July rallied $2.01 to $100.85 per barrel.

 

New York's main contract, West Texas Intermediate crude for delivery in July gained $1.60 to $85.89.

 

"A slight brightening of sentiment on the financial markets and a weaker US dollar are putting wind in the sails of oil," said Commerzbank analyst Carsten Fritsch.

 

European and US stock markets shot higher Wednesday, with sentiment helped by the European Central Bank's decision to keep cash flowing to beleaguered eurozone banks even if it left interest rates on hold.

 

ECB chief Mario Draghi downplayed the eurozone debt crisis after the central bank held rates unchanged at 1.0 percent, saying it was unlike the situation after the 2008 Lehman Brothers bankruptcy sent global markets into a tailspin.

 

"To a great extent we know exactly what (the) problems are now," the ECB president said, adding: "I don't think the situation is at all as bad as it was."

 

Prices were also buoyed after G7 European leaders vowed Tuesday to respond "speedily" to the debt crisis.

 

Traders meanwhile shrugged off news of a smaller-than-expected decline in stockpiles in the United States, the world's biggest oil consuming nation.

 

US American crude inventories fell by just 100,000 barrels in the week ending June 1, far less than market expectations for a drop of 400,000 barrels, according to analysts polled by Dow Jones Newswires.

 

Elsewhere, the European Union called Wednesday on Iran to sign an accord with the International Atomic Energy Agency that would enable the UN watchdog to verify the nature of its controversial nuclear activities.

 

IAEA chief Yukiya Amano said after visiting Iran in May that Tehran would soon sign a deal to allow greater access to sites, documents and people involved in its nuclear programme -- but no such agreement has yet emerged.

 

"We call on Iran to conclude the agreement without further delay," the EU told the IAEA board of governors meeting in Vienna this week.

 

"The EU has once again to stress the importance of granting early access to all sites, persons and information as and when requested by the agency," the statement said, making particular reference to a military base at Parchin.

 

The IAEA, which is holding a new round of talks with Iran in Vienna on Friday, has been seeking access to the Parchin base near Tehran, where it believes suspicious explosives testing has been carried out.

 

Key crude producer Iran has denied the IAEA demands, insisting the site is of no significance to its nuclear programme.

 

Earlier this week, the oil market hit multi-month lows as dismal data sparked fears over the health of the global economy and future energy demand.

 

In Monday trade, New York crude hit $81.21, a level last seen on October 7. Brent oil meanwhile tumbled to $95.63, reaching its lowest level since January 2011.

Goldman Predicts

 

In October, Bank of America forecast $2,000 by early 2012. Goldman predicted in December that gold would reach $1,840 by early June. Barclays and Morgan Stanley said in January that it would average $1,850 and $1,810 this quarter. The metal actually averaged $1,619 since the end of March. Goldman now expects prices to reach $1,940 in 12 months. Barclays predicts an average of $1,790 in the fourth quarter, and Morgan Stanley forecasts $2,000 in the final three months.

 

Bullion is heading for a 12th straight annual gain, after temporarily giving up its gains for the year last month. The metal rose almost sixfold since the end of 2000, beating the 24 percent advance in the S&P 500, with dividends reinvested, and the 90 percent return on Treasuries. The Dollar Index (DXY) fell 25 percent.

 

While gold’s four-month drop from February is the longest since the start of the bull market, it’s not the biggest. Futures fell 21 percent in a month in 2006 and 30 percent over eight months in 2008, before rallying to end higher for the year. The 2,375.8 metric tons held in ETPs exceeds official reserves in all but four nations tracked by the International Monetary Fund, and the amount is within 1.5 percent of the record 2,410.2 tons reached in March.

‘Last Resort’

 

“Gold remains the currency of last resort,” said Jeff Currie, the New York-based head of commodity research at Goldman, which predicts $1,840 by the end of the year. “The case for higher gold prices remains intact.”

 

Greek voters return to the polls on June 17 after elections on May 6 failed to produce a government. Syriza, a party proposing to cancel the terms of an international bailout and restore pensions and wages, was propelled into second place, increasing prospects that the 17-nation euro would fracture. Those concerns were partially allayed last week after Irish voters backed the EU’s fiscal treaty.

 

Central banks, the world’s biggest owners of gold, have added to their reserves for 14 consecutive months through March, the longest streak since 1964, IMF data show. Investor demand for gold coins is accelerating, with sales of American Eagles more than doubling to 53,000 ounces last month, according to figures on the U.S. Mint’s website. The 10 most widely held options confer the right to buy bullion at prices from $1,800 to $2,500 between July and March 2013, Comex data show.
