Headline writers still writing "the expected narrative."
Re-posting. I'm sure I'm misreading something.
Swing producers? US shale? I don't know. We'll have to look at the numbers six months from now, but it certainly appears that US shale operators can "turn on a dime." I think it's fascinating. News out of the Mideast suggest weeks, if not months, of negotiations, talk, fake news, etc., and then we might finally see some data. US shale -- in the Bakken it's a daily update. In the Permian maybe a bit longer, but certainly within a month we see production responding to geopolitical events. Whatever. Idle rambling. Waiting for EIA data. [Update: five minutes later -- wow, talking about turning on a dime! See below.]Re-balancing:
EIA, weekly data, link here, and here, pending, released at 9:30 a.m. CT -- are you kidding me? --
- US crude oil inventories decreased by 0.7 million bbls from the previous week
- US crude oil inventories now stand at 531.5 million bbls -- 11% above the already fat five-year average;
