EIA's Weekly Petroleum Report; WTI Surges -- December 4, 2019

Weekly Petroleum Report:
  • US crude oil in storage: 447.1 million bbls
  • week-over-week oil in storage: decreased by a whopping 4.9 million bbls
  • refiners operating at 91.9% capacity; slowly creeping up; well below the norm;
  • crude oil imports are down over 20% over the same four-week period last year
  • all things being equal, WTI should be up nicely, unless movers and shakers knew these numbers last night; so let's check WTI: up 3.67%; up $2.06; trading at $58.16 -- back to where it was last week when it plunged;
