US Energy Information Administration (EIA) released an official weekly report on US oil inventories at 3:30 pm BST. Market expectation pointed to decline in oil and gasoline inventories and a slight drop in distillate stocks. However, a private API report released yesterday suggested builds in headline crude inventories as well as distillate, and a smaller-than-expected drop in gasoline inventories.
Actual report released today showed a 0.6 mb draw - smaller than expected. Gasoline inventories also declined less than expected while distillate inventories dropped more than expected.
