Oil Drops, Erasing Earlier Gains, After Chinese Inflation Exceeds Target

Oil dropped as much as 0.3 percent, giving up earlier gains, after China reported inflation which exceeded economist estimates and the governmentâs target. Crude was down 26 cents at $103.62 a barrel at 12:43 p.m. Sydney time, after earlier rising as high as $104.60.
Chinaâs consumer prices rose 5.3 percent in April from a year earlier, above the governmentâs full-year target for a fourth straight month. The gain was more than the 5.2 percent median forecast in a Bloomberg News survey of 30 economists.
