Oil gains on weaker dollar, though U.S. storage build limits rise

By Barani Krishnan NEW YORK (Reuters) - Oil prices rose on Wednesday, tracking a weaker dollar despite U.S. government data showing a higher-than-expected build in crude inventories last week. Benchmark Brent and U.S. crude oil were both up about half a percent, although the upside was capped by the bearish report on U.S. crude stockpiles. Crude inventories rose by 8.2 million barrels last week, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said, above analysts' calls for a 5.1-million build.
