Oil futures fall as U.S. inventories rise and OPEC eyes cuts
Crude prices slipped about 2 percent as U.S. government and API inventories showed larger builds than expected. The API reported an 8.2 million barrel rise while EIA tallied 5.4 million, signaling ample supply despite OPEC's 3.5 percent output cut and looming Nigeria strike uncertainty. Brent eased to 28.73 while NYMEX November crude slid to around 29.45. Oil traders weigh OPEC action against bearish API data and potential supply disruptions.
