Oil dropped after a government report showed that U.S. crude inventories unexpectedly increased last week.
West Texas Intermediate fell as much as 3.6 percent in New York. Stockpiles climbed 7.27 million barrels to 387.2 million in the week ended Dec. 19, the Energy Information Administration said. The report was projected to show a 2.5 million-barrel decline, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of nine analysts.
Futures surged yesterday after Commerce Department data showed that the U.S. gross domestic product rose at a 5 percent annual rate from July through September, the most since 2003. Oil is heading for the biggest annual drop since 2008 amid a global glut exacerbated by the highest U.S. output in more than three decades. Prices have dropped about 20 percent since the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries decided Nov. 27 to maintain its output ceiling at 30 million barrels a day.
WTI for February delivery fell $1.80 to $55.32 a barrel at 10:31 a.m. on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract traded at $55.56 before the release of the report at 10:30 a.m. in Washington.
Brent for February settlement dropped $2.16, or 3.5 percent, to $59.53 a barrel on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange.

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
