Oil rebounded from the lowest in almost seven months as Saudi Arabia contacted other producers to discuss options to stem the price rout.

Futures rose as much as 2.9% in New York, clawing back some of Wednesday's 4.7% decline. Saudi Arabia won’t tolerate continued price weakness and is considering all options, according to an official from the kingdom who asked not to be identified. That came after a surprise increase in U.S. stockpiles, the first gain in eight weeks, helped push down prices on Wednesday.

West Texas Intermediate oil for September delivery added $1.19, or 2.3%, to $52.28 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange as of 9:02 a.m. in Singapore after advancing as much as $1.46 earlier. The contract slumped $2.54 on Wednesday to the lowest close since Jan. 14, capping an 8.2% slide over three days.

Brent for October settlement climbed $1.16 or 2.1%, to $57.39 a barrel on the ICE Futures Europe Exchange. It plunged 4.6% on Wednesday. The benchmark global crude traded at a premium of $5.13 to WTI for the same month.
