U.S. Crude Stocks Fall 1.9 Million Barrels to 410.6 Million

U.S. crude inventories, or stored oil, fell 1.9 million barrels to 410.6 million in the week ended October 23, the Energy Information Administration reported October 28, according to Reuters. A barrel is 42 U.S. gallons. The draw was smaller than the 3.2 million barrel decline in the week ended October 2, but one weekly figure doesn't establish a trend.
