Post by dan_s »

The American Petroleum Institute (API) reported a huge crude oil inventory draw of 10.18 million barrels for the week ending December 7, compared to analyst expectations that we would see a draw in crude oil inventories of 2.990 million barrels.

The API also reported a draw in gasoline inventories for week ending December 7 in the amount of 2.484 million barrels. Analysts had predicted a build of 2.461 million barrels for the week.

Distillate inventories were up this week by 712,000 barrels, compared to an expected build of 1.801 million barrels.\
