Brent Crude Oil fell $1.22 to $107.53 a barrel on Wednesday morning following an unexpectedly large build in United States crude inventories. The pullback follows a two-day rally driven by supply disruptions in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia infrastructure attacks and regional maritime bottlenecks continue to keep global markets tight.
