Oil falls as traders note jump in US crude stockpiles

  • On May 14, 2025, Brent and U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude prices fell in global trading amid reports from Tokyo of rising U.S. Crude stockpiles.
  • The price decline followed U.S.-China tariff reductions announced May 12 and expectations of a significant 3.5 to 4.3 million barrel crude build last week.
  • The crude build contrasted with last week's large product draws, while analysts highlighted ongoing demand challenges amid cautious optimism from the trade war pause.
  • Phillip Nova analyst Priyanka Sachdeva mentioned that hopes for a stronger market were limited due to anticipated large increases in U.S. Oil stockpiles, while UBS's Giovanni Staunovo pointed to profit-taking amid significant declines in refined product inventories.
  • Oil prices fell despite recent rallies, signaling that rising supplies and inventory additions continue to limit gains amid persistent demand concerns and a stronger U.S. Dollar.
