US Department of Energy issued an official, weekly report on US oil inventories today at 3:30 pm GMT. Report was expected to show a build in headline crude inventories as well as declines in gasoline and distillate stockpiles. API report released yesterday in the evening suggested a small build in oil inventories, as well as bigger-than-expected drop in gasoline and distillate stockpiles.
Actual report showed a smaller-than-expected build in headline crude inventories, but bigger than suggested by API. Meanwhile, gasoline and distillate inventories slumped much more than expected and then hinted by API yesterday. A big drops in gasoline and distillate stockpiles seem to outweight build in crude inventories, with oil moving higher following release of the report. WTI (OIL.WTI) is testing $80 per barrel area at press time.
