EIA Crude -4.6, Gasoline +5.4, Dist +1.3Crude draws, but gasoline builds.
More adjustment data to confuse the situation.
It doesn't matter though, crude will be pushed down lower in this current extreme negative market sentiment.
Large shift (again) of EIA's production crude adjustment factor, down by 2.704mbpd w/w to -1.417mbpd probably driven by underestimating exports Massive negative adjustment in EIA’s report. Exports materially understated, while imports materially overstated.
Looks like based on tanker tracking activities, imports slated for this week or next week’s EIA report was counted in this week’s report. A massive jump in modified adjustment following 3-weeks of near zero. Imports/export difference this week pushed modified adjustment to +916k b/d or 6.412 million bbls. If you use old methodology of "transfers to crude oil supply" + adjustment, it's +1.65 million b/d. This normally reverses shortly after. So take the 6.412 million bbls and carry it forward. US petroleum inventories (crude, SPR, refined products) fell by 1.383mb w/w to 1,621.239mb last week - EIA WTI Extends Losses To 5-Month Lows Despite Crude Draw, Production Decline EIA data, week ending 12/1
