RE:API Inventory:Oddly enough the EIA report appears to concur and is very close to the API's actual numbers.
"U.S. commercial crude oil inventories (excluding those in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve) decreased by 3.7 million barrels from the previous week. At 436.5 million barrels, U.S. crude oil inventories are about 5% below the five year average for this time of year. Total motor gasoline inventories decreased by 5.6 million barrels from last week and are about 2% below the five year average for this time of year. Both finished gasoline and blending components inventories decreased last week. Distillate fuel inventories decreased by 2.8 million barrels last week and are about 9% below the five year average for this time of year. Propane/propylene inventories increased by 1.8 million barrels from last week and are 15% above the five year average for this time of year. Total commercial petroleum inventories decreased by 4.6 million barrels last week."
Should be slighlty bullish for oil with all the other bs headwinds.
