NYMEX-Crude ends lower as oil inventories rise

* U.S. crude oil stocks jump 7.31 mln bbls - EIA

* U.S. durable goods orders fall, clouding growth outlook

* Coming Up: US jobless claims data; Thursday 8:30 a.m EDT

NEW YORK, July 28 (Reuters) - U.S. crude oil futures fell a
second straight day on Wednesday, slipping on government oil
inventory data showing a large crude oil stocks build last week
as imports surged.

Crude oil prices also were pressured by weak durable goods
orders data that pushed U.S. equities lower and kept concerns
about the pace of economic recovery in focus.

FUNDAMENTALS

* On the New York Mercantile Exchange, September crude
CLU0 fell 51 cents, or 0.66 percent, to settle at $76.99 a
barrel, trading from $75.90 to $77.74.

* The U.S. Energy Information Administration said
commercial crude oil stocks rose 7.31 million barrels last week
as imports jumped. [EIA/] The forecast was for a build.
Gasoline and distillate stocks also rose, though not as much as
expected.

* New orders for long-lasting U.S. manufactured goods
unexpectedly fell for a second straight month in June, posting
their largest decline since August. [ID:nN28189480]

* It will be days, not weeks or months, before Enbridge Inc
(ENB.TO) can get a damaged crude oil pipeline in Michigan back
into service, the company said on Wednesday. [ID:nN28138573]

MARKETS NEWS

* U.S. stocks fell on Wednesday after weak durable goods
figures and a downbeat assessment of the economy from the Fed's
Beige Book kept the benchmark S&P 500 trapped below its 200-day
moving average. [ID:nN28218363]

* The U.S. dollar rallied against the euro but slid against
the yen as weaker-than-expected U.S. durable goods orders added
to fears about economic recovery. [ID:nN28214830]
