US oil futures settled $1.71 lower at $61.39 on May 21, 2019, down 2.7%, after the EIA reported a 4.7 million barrel build in crude inventories versus expectations of a draw. Gasoline stocks also rose unexpectedly by 3.7 million barrels.
Brent fell $1.19 to $70.99.
Surprise inventory builds signal weaker near-term crude demand and raise worries that the US-China trade war will cut fuel consumption, pressuring energy prices. Lower crude and gasoline costs tend to weigh on biofuel margins and related energy-linked feed inputs.
