"Down Day" For Almost Everything; WTI Held Above $64

API weekly crude oil inventory data -- a big build -- a build of 4.1 million bbls. Forecast: a build of 2.294 million bbls (again, false precision). Including this week’s data, the net build is now 7.53 million barrels for the 13-week reporting period so far this year, using API data. But look at the gasoline inventory data: The API this week reported a draw in gasoline inventories for week ending April 5 in the amount of 7.1 million barrels. Analysts estimated a much smaller draw in gasoline inventories of 2.009 million barrels for the week. All background noise. Traders will do what they want regardless of the data. WTI trended down today, closing just below $64.

Aramco IPO: it's always been my contention we would never see an Aramco IPO. More evidence to support that contention: the "run on Aramco bonds was so huge, there is no need for an IPO."
