West Texas Intermediate crude for October delivery added $3.96 to $42.56 on the New York Merc, while Brent for October added $4.42 to $47.56 (all figures in this para U.S.). The benchmarks enjoyed their biggest one-day rally since 2009 thanks to better-than-forecast U.S. economic data, a rebound in Chinese stock markets and Shell's declaration of force majeure on Nigerian oil exports. Western Canadian Select traded at a discount of $14.75 to WTI ($27.81), down from a discount of $14.25. Natural gas for September lost 5.5 cents to $2.638. The TSX energy index added 10.71 points to 172.10.
