US Energy Department Energy Information Administration reported on Wednesday that crude stockpiles fell by 2.2 million barrels, while analysts had forecasted a gain of 1.6 million barrels. The report also showed that gasoline inventories declined by 1.1 million barrels, more than average forecast for a decrease of 600,000 barrels.

Oil prices began to move upward even before the inventory report as strong earnings results and retail sale data reassured investors' confidence in a slow yet steady economic recovery.

In London, Brent crude for May delivery rose $1.44 to $86.16 a barrel on the ICE Futures Exchange.
