US oil stockpiles have dropped more than expected in the latest week, the Energy Information Administration said on Wednesday, Gupta said. Crude inventories have dropped by 5.899 million barrels last week, compared with analysts' expectations for a draw of 2.889 million barrels. Even as coronavirus cases see an upsurge, the consumption of crude could drop building stockpile again and leading to price correction.
