Brent, U.S. crude briefly pare losses on U.S. crude stocks drop

NEW YORK, Oct 3 (Reuters) - Brent and U.S. crude futures

Information Administration's weekly oil inventory report showed
crude stocks fell last week in the United States, against
expectations for an inventory build.
Brent crude was down $2.85 at $108.72 a barrel at
10:41 a.m. EDT (1441 GMT), having traded from $108.22 to
$111.36. U.S. crude was down $2.68 at $89.21 a barrel,
having traded from $89.15 to $91.82.
