Commercial crude oil inventories rose in the United States during the week ended Nov. 6, according to data released Thursday by the Energy Information Administration (EIA).
The data showed inventories climbed for the first time in six weeks, increasing by 4.7 million barrels, contrary to estimates that had forecast a decline of 700,000 barrels.
The data was released on Thursday instead of the usual Wednesday schedule, due to the US Veterans Day public holiday, which fell on Nov. 11.
