Official report on a weekly change in US oil inventories was released at 2:30 pm GMT. Official report diverged from yesterday's API release by quite a lot and can be generally seen as bearish for prices.
-
Oil inventories: -3.115 mb vs +0.3 mb expected (API: -6.53 mb)
-
Gasoline inventories: -1.26 mb vs -1.2 mb expected (API: -2.64 mb)
-
Distillate inventories: +0.43 mb vs -0.7 mb expected (API: +0.86 mb)
Oil prices moved lower following the release as the DOE report pointed to a smaller crude inventory draw than signaled by API. However, reaction was minor and was quickly reversed with crude now trading higher than prior to the release.
