  • US crude oil in storage now stands at 476.7 million bbls, about 5% above the five-year average for this time of the year;
  • US crude oil imports little unchanged; about 5.1 million bbls per day last week, decreasing by 1.0 million bpd from the previous week
  • refiners are operating at a pretty decent (considering all the headwinds) 81.7% capacity;
  • distillate fuel inventories decreased by 0.8 million bbls; about 8% above their five-year average;
