SINGAPORE, Nov 6 (Reuters) - U.S. crude futures on Wednesday hovered near five-month lows touched overnight, hurt by concerns over demand as stockpiles in the world's top oil consumer rose again.

Crude inventories climbed 871,000 barrels in the week to Nov. 1 to 382 million barrels, data from industry group the American Petroleum Institute showed on Tuesday. Crude stocks at the Cushing, Oklahoma, delivery hub rose by 999,000 barrels.

While the build in total stocks lagged analyst expectations of a 1.6 million barrel increase, it still marked a seventh straight week of increases. API/S EIAS

Investors are now waiting for stockpile data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) for clarity on the country's demand-growth outlook.

U.S. crude CLc1 had gained 34 cents to $93.71 a barrel by 0100 GMT, after settling down $1.25 at its lowest since early June. Brent crude LCOc1 advanced 35 cents to $105.68, after ending 90 cents lower.
