US Cash Crude-Grades slip on weakened refinery demand

Oct 17 (Reuters) - Grades broadly rose on Friday, dealers said, as refinery demand weakened.

A fire at BP's BP.L 440,000 barrel-per-day oil refinery in Whiting, Indiana, was extinguished on Friday morning, the company said.

Reuters earlier reported multiple units were offline, according to two market sources, citing data from consultancy Wood Mackenzie.

On the supply side, U.S. energy firms this week added oil and natural gas rigs for the first time in three weeks, energy services firm Baker Hughes BKR.O said in its closely followed report on Friday.
