Oil market sinks as US crude inventories surge

World oil prices sank on Wednesday on news that US crude inventories ballooned last week, worsening the stubborn global glut.

US benchmark West Texas Intermediate (WTI) for delivery in May lost US$1.66 to US$39.79 per barrel, after five sessions spent over the US$40 threshold.

Brent North Sea crude for May delivery fell US$1.32 to US$40.47 a barrel.

The US Energy Information Administration reported Wednesday that American crude oil reserves surged 9.36 million barrels last week to 532.5 million barrels.

That was almost quadruple the expectations of analysts polled by Bloomberg News.

But mitigating some of that gain was a 4.6 million barrel fall in gasoline stockpiles.
