Oil rose for a third straight session Thursday, lifted by upbeat U.S. economic data, signs of a deal to bailout Greece and confirmation the International Energy Agency would not release more emergency stocks for now.

The market shook off early losses caused by weak economic data from China and turned positive as euro zone leaders were set to give their financial rescue fund new powers to help Greece overcome its debt crisis, easing concerns that have weighed on oil and other markets in recent weeks.

Further support came from upbeat data showing factory activity in the U.S. Mid-Atlantic region bounced back in July, as well as news members of the IEA decided against releasing more oil stockpiles despite the threat of high prices to the economic recover.
