Pictrue: REUTERS/LUCY NICHOLSON— Oil prices dropped on Wednesday, paring overnight gains, with soaring Covid-19 cases in India and a bigger-than-expected build in US crude stocks offsetting confidence shown by Opec and its allies in a solid recovery in global fuel demand.

US West Texas Intermediate crude futures fell 23c, or 0.4%, to $62.71 a barrel, after gaining 1.7% on Tuesday. The more closely watched weekly inventory data from the US Energy Information Administration is due at 1430 GMT on Wednesday.
