   Crude is marginally lower today on a surprise build in U.S. crude stocks... On the flipside, however, crude is also supported by a weaker dollar and the prospect of higher U.S. stimulus, u.S. crude stocks have been falling for last five weeks and this has been one of the key factors in keeping price at elevated levels. If EIA also confirms an increase in crude stocks, we may see some more correction in prices.
