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.
US crude inventories rose by a much bigger than expected 1.7-million barrels last week, according to industry group the American Petroleum Institute , well ahead of analysts’ expectations for a 300,000-barrel build. 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.
