#Oil_prices #sink 1% on surprise #usa_inventory build, #Fed fears :

 

#Oil_prices fell sharply in #Asian #trade on Wednesday, extending recent losses as signs of an unexpected build in #usa_stockpiles and strong crude production sparked doubts over tight supply conditions. 

#Markets were also on edge before the conclusion of a Federal Reserve meeting later in the day, where the #central_bank is widely expected to strike a hawkish note. The #dollar shot up this week in anticipation of the #Fed, also pressuring oil #prices.

#Brent_oil futures expiring in July fell 0.9% to $85.58 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate crude futures fell 1% to $80.48 a barrel by 21:02 ET (01:02 GMT). 

#Oil #prices were also nursing losses in recent sessions amid growing speculation over an Israel-Hamas ceasefire, although no such agreement was reached so far. 

#Oil_prices dented by #USA inventory build, strong output

Data from the #American Petroleum Institute showed on late-Tuesday that U.S. crude #inventories grew by 4.9 #million barrels in the week to April 26, ducking expectations for an increase of 1.5 million #barrels.

While gasoline and distillate stockpiles #shrank, the rise in overall inventories suggested that oil supplies were not as tight as initially expected in the world’s biggest fuel consumer. 

This notion was reinforced by separate data showing U.S. domestic crude output rose to 13.15 #million barrels per day in February from 12.58 #million barrels in January, its biggest jump since October. The rise also saw U.S. production come back in sight of record highs. 

This spurred doubts over just how tight global crude markets would be in the coming months, given that U.S. output remains robust and the country’s oil markets remain well supplied. 

A potential ceasefire between Israel and Hamas could also further downplay expectations of tighter markets, especially amid lower risks of supply disruptions in the #Middle_East. 

The API data usually heralds a similar trend from official inventory data, which is due later on Wednesday.

#Fed fears in play, #dollar strength weighs 

#Markets were also on edge before the conclusion of a two-day Fed meeting later in the day. While the central bank is widely expected to keep rates on hold, #Fed Chair Jerome Powell is likely to strike a hawkish note following a series of strong inflation readings.

Expectations of higher-for-longer U.S. #interest rates saw the #dollar rise sharply this week, which also weighed on #oil #prices.
