Crude:

Oil tumbled as U.S. stockpiles increased, adding to a glut. Inventories rose 2.47 million barrels last week, Energy Information Administration data show, in contrast to the 1.9-2.2 million-barrel drop forecast. Supplies climbed as refineries processed crude at a record pace and the nation's oil output was steady, near the highest level in more than 40 years. West Texas Intermediate oil has dropped almost 20 percent in six weeks on signs the global surplus will be prolonged as Iran bids to restore output after its nuclear accord.
