Crude oil is spiking

Crude oil is rallying.

West Texas Intermediate crude prices rallied by more than 3% on Wednesday to as high as $58.81 per barrel. It's yet another year-to-date high for the commodity.

The rally comes after data from the Energy Information Administration showed that the growth of commercial crude inventories slowed last week.
