Another "surprise" crude oil build. It's always a surprise, isn't it? LOL.
  • forecast: a small inventory draw of 152,000 bbls (wow, talk about false precision)
  • actual: a build of 3.857 million bbls
  • that was the API weekly report
  • tomorrow, Wednesday, we get the EIA report

  1. Just rambling...

    A lot of noise in the API data. Say you have deliveries of crude coming from a couple VLCCs. When do you call it yours and say its your inventory? You need to lighter from the VLCC via a smaller tanker which may take days. So do you call the entire VLCC crude your inventory or when the oil is onshore. The accountants determine this.

    Note that Cushing OK inventory is down by 3.3 million barrels

    1. You raise a very good point. What impresses me most is how they get the estimate down to thousands of bbls.

    2. At the end of the day, for me, it's the macro-trend and the price of oil. The macro-trend: a) not going to run out of oil for a long, long time; and, b) Saudi needs $80 oil to balance its budget and we haven't seen that in a long, long time.
