What's more, data showed that gasoline and distillate stockpiles declines. For the session, March-dated West Texas Intermediate Crude (WTI) lose $1.23 cents, or 1.6%, to finish at $76.64 per barrel.

Spot gold dipped below the $2,000-per-ounce mark on Wednesday, as investors continues to fret over the Federal Reserves interest rate outlook. The most active April-dated gold lost $2.90, or 0.1%, to settle at $2,004.30 for the session.
