Oil consolidated above $106 a barrel Thursday after U.S. crude supplies fell for a third straight week, a sign of increased demand in the world\'s largest energy consumer. Benchmark crude for August delivery was down 13 cents at $106.35 a barrel at midafternoon Bangkok time in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

In London, Brent crude fell 16 cents to $108.46 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange, according to a report of the Associated Press.
