• Distillate inventories:+ 1.235 million barrels vs -0.8 million barrels expected (API: +1.07 million barrels)
• Oil inventories at Cushing, Oklahoma: - 2.403million barrels vs -0.587 million barrels previously
The publication of today's report did not have a significant impact on the oil prices. WTI Oil (OIL.WTI) continues to trade around the $109.25 level. Source: xStation5
