Publication of report from the US Department of Energy caused some moves on the oil market. Crude fell unexpectedly, while gasoline stockpiles dropped less than expected. There was a surprise in distillate inventories data as it showed a build, contrary to market expectations and yesterday's API release

• Oil inventories: - 1.725mb vs +1.38 mb expected (API: -1.26 mb)

• Gasoline inventories: -0.114mb vs -1.114 mb (API: -2.17 mb)

• Distillate inventories: +0.124 mb vs -2.2 mb (API: -1.1 mb)

• Oil inventories at Cushing, Oklahoma: +0.583 million barrels vs -0.309 million barrels previously

Oil may become more active in the evening if Biden administration provides more details regarding SPR releases.
