Investing.com - U.S. crude stockpiles fell last week and fuel inventories like gasoline continue to build at a time when many continue to bet on a strong summer of demand for energy as international travel gathers steam.

West Texas Intermediate, the benchmark for U.S. crude prices, was up 2.23% to $72.46 a barrel on the news, after settling up up 1.75% to $72.12 a barrel.

U.S. crude inventories fell by 8.5 million barrels for the week ended June 10, according to an estimate released Tuesday by the American Petroleum Institute. That compared with a draw of 2.1 million barrels reported by the API for the previous week.

The API also showed that gasoline inventories rose by about 2.9 million last week, compared with a 2.4 million build in the prior week, and distillate stocks rose by about 2.0 million barrels.
