Brent slips after growing US stockpiles add to the worry about oversupply

Oil futures dropped on Wednesday, extending losses from the previous day, after US crude stockpiles grew more than expected, adding to the worry about oversupply.

On Tuesday, both Brent and WTI contracts traded at their highest levels since prices collapsed in early March.

Still, the market remains concerned about a rising number of coronavirus cases in the US and elsewhere, said Kazuhiko Saito, chief analyst at Fujitomi.
