Oil prices fall on surprise US inventory rise; China crude volatile



Oil prices fell on Wednesday, with Brent falling back below $70 per barrel and US West Texas Intermediate crudes dipping below $65, pulled down by a report of increasing US crude inventories that surprised many traders. 



US WTI crude futures were at $64.86 a barrel by 0201 GMT, down 39 cents, or 0.6 per cent, from their previous settlement. 

Traders said the dips came after the American Petroleum Institute (API) late on Tuesday reported a surprise 5.3 million barrels rise in crude sticks in the week to March 23, to 430.6 million barrels. 

Official US inventory data will be published by the Energy Information Administration (EIA) late on Wednesday.
