TOKYO — Oil fell early Thursday, Reuters reported. At 3:51 a.m. Greenwich time, Brent was down $1.22, or 1.1 percent, at $114.10 a barrel. West Texas Intermediate was down $1.33, or 1.3 percent, at $101.45. Those figures are not the New York settlement. A day earlier Brent rose 1.3 percent and WTI gained 3 percent. The Saudi-led coalition said it destroyed a Houthi ballistic missile. The Energy Information Administration said firms pulled 1.9 million barrels of crude from storage in the week ended October 23, against a forecast of a small build.
