US Private Inventory Data (bbls): Crude +5.28mln(exp. +0.419mln), Distillate +4.34mln (exp. +0.129mln), Gasoline +8.23mln (exp. +0.242mln), Cushing +0.95mln (prev. +0.7mln)

The substantial increase in U.S. private crude oil inventories, far exceeding expectations, indicates weakening demand or an oversupply situation. This could exert downward pressure on oil prices and influence market sentiment towards inflation, particularly in relation to energy costs.
