Investing.com - U.S. crude oil inventories rose by 2.79 million barrels at the end of last week, the American Petroleum Institute said on Wednesday, less than the expected 4.0 million barrels build.
Gasoline inventories fell by 2.54 million barrels and distillates declined by 600,000 barrels. Supplies at the oil hub of Chushing, Oklahoma, rose by 670,000 barrels.
The data was published a day later than usual due to Monday’s Labor Day holiday. The U.S. Department of Energy will release its official data on inventories on Thursday.
