While Asian markets were closed in observance of the Chinese New Year, attention was directed to the United States where the American Petroleum Institute released its Weekly Crude Oil Inventories data. The report indicated a build of 8.520 million barrels, significantly higher than both the forecasted build of 2.600 million barrels and the previous week's build of 0.674 million barrels.
