BREAKING: OIL gains after inventory report

US Department of Energy (DOE) released an official, weekly report on US oil inventories today at 3:30 pm BST. Report was expected to show an over-million barrels declines in all three major categories. However, private API report released yesterday in the evening suggested that oil, gasoline and distillate inventories all increased.
