NYMEX-Crude skids over 5 pct on big EIA stock build

* EIA: crude stocks up, confirming API stock build *

* U.S. durable goods orders fall more than expected

NEW YORK, July 29 (Reuters) - U.S. crude oil futures
extended losses to more than 5 percent on Wednesday after
government data showed a surprisingly large increase in crude
oil inventories last week, defying forecasts for a stock
drawdown.

The data confirmed the industry group American Petroleum
Institute's report late on Tuesday that crude stocks rose
sharply. The API data had sent crude futures down more than $2
per barrel in early trading.

Gasoline futures fell further, even though data from the
Energy Information Administration showed stocks fell, also
going against the forecast for a small stock build.

Heating oil futures tanked, as the EIA reported a larger
than expected stock build.

"Crude stock data looks bearish from any angle ... the
increase looks like the beginning of a trend reversal in crude
supply that could eventually erase more than half of the draw
of the past two and a half months," said Jim Ritterbusch,
president of Ritterbusch & Associates in Galena, Illinois.
