API
Looks like a large API build today , not sure how this relates to Nuttall's call for huge deficits in weeks not quarters , hard to know what to believe anymore .

Start by not believing it's a large build. With SPR at 2.6M this week and last week's huge draw of 12.5M for proper context the fundamentals are still sound.

Yes there was something very fishy about the API numbers of a previous week of 6M draw and then this weeks 5M build. I was thiking only shut downs cause these kind of swings but the SPR release explains it, Thanks for the insight. I thought the White House had put a halt to the SPR release? If not do you know when it ends? GLTY and all.

I believe there is about 10M left to go so about another 4 weeks at this rate. The whole SPR drain is a political game to try and tame inflation. It's going to end badly.

So in the month of May they the released over 9 M from the SPR. And the EIA still showed a net draw of 1 M from inventory, Without the SPR that would have been a 10 M draw. What happens when the SPR release stops in June and summer vacations begin? GLTA

Interestingly it seems there's been a dumping of oil onto the market as short term yields on interest are too enticing. All it's doing is leading to a bigger supply crunch going into the 2nd half. Once the SPR sales are done June 30 the real market dynamics will begin to show themselves. My opinion only.

Wish I could share your enthusiasm , any build is the opposite of the massive unrelenting draws predicted by many of the pundits , Memorial Day has come and gone and WTI is in the 60s.
