The weekly crude oil inventory data has caused some selling in the oil markets with the headline rising more than expected and production in the US hitting a new record high.
The breakdown of the report was as follows:
-
Crude oil inventories: +2.2M vs +1.5M exp. API: -0.5M
-
Gasoline: +1.9M vs -1.3M exp
-
Distillates: -2.5M vs -1.0M exp
-
US production: 12.8M bpd - new record high
The initial reaction has been negative in Oil, with the market respecting resistance around the 63.30 level once more. Last week’s inventories showed a large build (+7.9M) and caused a sustained sell-off in the market. Source: xStation
