The EIA reported Wednesday that commercial crude inventories climbed by 3.5 million barrels for the week that ended Jan. 24. That was the first weekly increase in 10 weeks, though domestic production edged lower.
The data were expected to show a crude supply climb of 2.6 million barrels on average, according to a survey of analysts conducted by S&P Global Commodity Insights. Late Tuesday, the American Petroleum Institute reported a crude inventory gain of 2.9 million barrels, according to a source citing the data.
Total domestic oil production fell by 237,000 barrels per day to 13.24 million bpd, the EIA said. Crude stocks at the Cushing, Okla., Nymex delivery hub added 300,000 barrels to 21 million barrels.
The report also showed a weekly supply increase of 3 million barrels for gasoline, while distillate inventories fell by 5 million barrels. The survey forecast an inventory increase of 1.4 million barrels for gasoline and a supply decline of 2.4 million barrels for distillates.
Demand for gasoline rose, with total finished motor gasoline supplied, a proxy for demand, at 8.302 million barrels per day in the latest week, versus 8.086 million bpd from a week earlier.
U.S. oil futures on Wednesday marked their lowest settlement price of the year so far after official data revealed a weekly rise in commercial crude inventories following nine consecutive weekly declines.
Oil traders, meanwhile, continued to weigh the outlook for demand — and the possibility that President Donald Trump will implement tariffs as soon as this weekend on Canada and Mexico that may disrupt the flow of crude supplies.
U.S. stocks finished lower on Wednesday after the Federal Reserve left its policy interest-rate target unchanged for the first time since delivering its initial rate cut in September.
At first, stocks declined after the Fed's decision was announced following the conclusion of the central bank's two-day January policy meeting. Major indexes added to their losses from earlier in the day.
The S&P 500 and Dow touched their lowest levels of the session as investors appeared to focus on language in the latest Fed policy statement that removed a reference to inflation steadily returning to the central bank's 2% target.
However, after taking the podium, Powell quickly clarified that this change wasn't intended as a policy signal, and stocks soon reversed. While major indexes still finished lower, they ended well off their session lows. And declines weren't nearly as severe as what followed the Fed's December policy meeting.
"After the market fireworks that followed the December meeting, when the committee pulled back on rate-cut expectations, this was a steady message of neutrality that should be received OK by markets," said Scott Helfstein, Global X's head of investment strategy, in emailed commentary.
Here's where major indexes finished up, according to FactSet data:
The S&P 500 was off by 28.39 points, or 0.5%, at 6,039.31.
The Nasdaq Composite fell by 101.26 points, or 0.5%, to 19,632.32.
