US gasoline stocks jump 10.6 million bbls last week but still 5.2 million bbls below prior-year level; comment: this is actually "bad news" as a tea leaf for reading the health of the economy

US gasoline consumption averaged just 9.0 million bopd over the last four weeks; much weaker than corresponding period prior-year; comment: this is actually "bad news" as a tea leaf for reading the health of the economy

US distillate consumption remained at lowest seasonal level for more than 10 years last week; comment: this is actually "bad news" as a tea leaf for reading the health of the economy (see first comment):


US distillate stocks rose 6.3 million bbls last week and are now 22.5 million (+16.4%) bbls over prior-year level
