API Announces "Unprecedented" Drawdown In US Crude Oil Reserves -- January 9, 2018

Wow! API weekly crude oil drawdown --
  • previous week: - 4.992 million
  • forecast for this week: -3.90 million
  • actual: -11.190 million
  • comment: in the past 36 weeks of tracking this data, an EIA drawdown has never exceeded 8 million bbls, and the average is almost exactly 3 million bbls/week; if the EIA data comes anywhere close to a drawdown of 9 million bbls, "Katie, bar the door"
  • comment: look at the price of WTI  after this data was announced 
  • for re-balancing, I use EIA data, not API data; EIA data always seems to come in under API data
