Publication of today's report from the US Department of Energy failed to trigger big moves on the oil market.

• Oil inventories: +3.93mb vs +1.36 mb expected (API: +5.62 mb)
• Gasoline inventories: -0.899 mb vs -1.08 mb (API: +2.55 mb)
• Distillate inventories: -0.521mb vs -0.9 mb (API: -1.77 mb)
• Oil inventories at Cushing, Oklahoma: - 0.923million barrels vs +1,257 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 $87.40 level. Source: xStation5
