Rise Less Than Expected

Reuters is reporting:

Oil prices rallied and U.S. crude jumped nearly 6 percent to a 2015 peak on Wednesday after government data showed crude oil inventories in the United States rose less than expected last week.

Though hitting a record level for a 14th consecutive week, U.S. crude inventories rose only 1.3 million barrels to 483.69 million, the smallest build since the week ending Jan. 2, the Energy Information Administration said on Wednesday.

That build was below expectations for a 4.1 million barrel rise in a Reuters survey of analysts.

One wonders if the EIA includes storage in the myriad new tanks around Williston. It's hard for me to believe that oil companies would go out of their way to account for all stored oil.
