Crude-oil inventories rose 4.6 million barrels on the week ended March 2, the American Petroleum Institute said late Tuesday
The trade group also reported gasoline stockpiles declined 2.3 million, and distillates inventories rose 924,000 barrels
The API report comes ahead of official word from the Energy Information Administratio due Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. Eastern
Analysts polled by Platts expect the EIA to show crude oil stockpiles up 2 million barrels, gasoline stocks down 1.75 million barrels, and distillates supplies down 1.5 million barrels
An increase in supplies is sure to keep pressure on oil futures, which ended Tuesday off 1.9% at $104.70 a barrel, their lowest in two weeks
