U.S. crude inventories rose last week, boosted by another jump in production to a new record, while gasoline stocks increased and distillate inventories fell, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) said Nov. 7.

Oil prices fell after the EIA reported that crude inventories rose by 5.8 million barrels in the week to Nov. 2, more than double analysts' expectations for an increase of 2.4 million barrels. Overall production rose to 11.6 million barrels a day (bbl/d), a new weekly record, although analysts rely more on monthly figures, which are published with a lag.
