US Energy Information Administration (EIA) released a weekly report on change in US oil and oil-derivative inventories at 3:30 pm BST today. API data released yesterday in the evening suggested a quite significant build of 3.69 million barrels during the previous week as well as a drop in gasoline and distillate inventories.
Official data released by EIA today showed an even bigger build in US crude oil inventories and a deeper draw in gasoline inventories. Distillate inventories were barely changed compared to a week ago.
