API With Surprise: Huge Crude Oil Build -- Over 7 Million Bbls -- March 5, 2019 -- WTI Volatile But Holds Steady

WTI was volatile today but finished flat despite huge crude oil build reported by API. Data points:
another "surprise" build -- most over-used word by economists and analysts: "surprise"

• API: reported a large "surprise" build of 7.29 million bbls
• forecast: a build of 388,000 bbls (note the fake precision); 
• A DOT-111 tank car carries upwards of 830 bbls
• at 8,000 bbls we're talking ten tank cars; a unit train is 110 tank cars
