The US Department of Energy (DOE) issued an official weekly report on US oil inventories today at 3:30 pm GMT. Market expected an increase in crude oil inventories as well as declines in gasoline and distillate stockpiles. Private API report released yesterday in the evening confirmed the direction of changes, but the scale was much bigger than expected.
