According to a report released by the American Petroleum Institute on Tuesday, U.S. crude inventories dropped by 6.02 million barrels last week, much more than a 3 million barrels fall predicted by a survey by Bloomberg.
The report also showed that oil stock at Cushing dropped by 576,000 barrels in the week.
