U.S. Crude-Oil Inventories Fall More Than Expected
U.S. inventories of crude oil fell sharply last week, while stockpiles of gasoline and other fuels also declined, according to data released Wednesday by the Energy Information Administration.
Crude-oil stockpiles declined by 8.5 million barrels to 436.5 million barrels, and now are precisely at the five-year average for this time of year, the EIA said.
Analysts surveyed by The Wall Street Journal had predicted crude stockpiles would fall by 2.1 million barrels from the prior week.
