Crude Oil Falls for 3rd day as US Inventories Stroke Archives Great
SINGAPORE, MARCH 2: Crude oil fell for a third consecutive session on Thursday as a record build-up in US stockpiles weighed on the market, with producers boosting shale oil production.Crude stockpiles in the United States, the world's top oil consumer, rose 1.5 million barrels last week, less than forecast, but touching a record at 520.2 million barrels after eight straight weekly builds.US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) futures slipped 10 cents or 0.2 per cent to $53.73 a barrel by 0249 GMT. Benchmark Brent crude futures gave up 3 cents to $56.33.Still, oil remained locked within a tight trading range as strict OPEC compliance with output cuts offset rising US oil reserves.“The market is largely a range-bound market, although positioning is quite skewed at present which could mean that when things do pop it could be a violent swing,” said Virendra Chauhan, oil analyst at Energy Aspects in Singapore.“The weakness at present is also a follow through from US inventory statistics which hit a record high yesterday.”The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) reduced its oil output for a second month in February, a Reuters survey found, showing the exporter group has boosted already strong compliance to around 94 per cent.Heftier cuts by Saudi Arabia and Angola helped offset weaker compliance by other members that agreed to limit their output.
