West Texas Intermediate crude fell on Wednesday as geopolitical worries and expectations of a build-up in U.S. oil inventories outweighed the impact of a brief production stoppage at two large Kazakh oilfields.
March WTI dropped 79 cents, or 1.31%, to $59.57 a barrel at 0008 GMT, after rising 90 cents, or 1.51%, in the prior session.
