US Energy Information Administration (EIA) released an official weekly report on US oil inventories today at 3:30 pm BST. Private API report released yesterday pointed to a slightly smaller than expected draw in headline crude inventories as well as an unexpected build in gasoline stockpiles.

Actual data from EIA showed a much deeper draw in headline crude inventories than expected - a 6.13 million barrel drop. Gasoline inventories were 1.49 mb higher than a week ago while distillate inventories increased 0.95 mb. Oil prices moved higher following the release but scale of the move was not major.

  • Oil inventories: -6.13 mb vs -2.9 mb expected (API: -2.42 mb)
