Newsquawk Staff ·

  • Crude: -2.2M (prev. -3.831M, Private +5.2M)
  • Distillate: -0.2M (prev. 5.594M, Private +4.3M)
  • Gasoline: 4M (prev.  7.702M, Private +8.2M)
  • Cushing: 0.728M (Private +0.9M)  
  • Weekly Crude Production: 13.8M

What it means

The EIA data indicates a draw in crude oil inventories of 2.2 million barrels, slightly less than the previous draw, which may suggest a stabilizing supply backdrop. However, the gasoline inventory build of 4 million barrels, significantly above expectations, could signal weaker demand, potentially impacting future prices and inflation expectations in the energy sector.
