EIA Confirms API Data -- US Crude Oil Inventories Continue To Increase -- March 7, 2018

The weekly petroleum report:
  • US crude oil inventories: increased by 2.4 million bbls; now at 425.9 million bbls
Market response: WTI drops over 1%; now trading below $62

Other data from the weekly petroleum report:
  • refineries: operating at 88% of operable capacity; still well below their potential
  • despite decreasing gasoline production, still well above the "average" range
  • other data pretty much uninteresting or unchanged 
Re-balancing: moving in the wrong direction -- back to 29 weeks -- the highest in eleven (11) weeks -- it was 30 weeks back on December 20, 2017.
