WTI falls as oil inventories rises and government shuts down

West Texas Intermediate crude declined on Wednesday falling for the ninth time in a 10-day period amid increasing oil stockpiles and as the first partial shutdown of the U.S. government in 17 years may reduce demand for the oil and the country's economic growth. WTI November futures dropped 58 cents to $101.46 a barrel in the NYMEX and were traded at $101.55 as of 1:35 p.m. in Singapore
