Oil prices jump today

Oil prices jumped in the afternoon of Asian trading hours on Wednesday following a report that showed a smaller than expected crude inventory build stateside.

The moves came after data from the American Petroleum Institute showed Tuesday that U.S. crude inventories jumped by 10 million barrels in the week to April 24  — to 510 million barrels, according to Reuters. That was lower than analysts’ expectations of a build of 10.6 million barrels, Reuters reported.
