First things first, API's Tuesday report -- large crude oil draw --
Spare capacity: lots of folks are talking about (lack of) spare capacity in the Mideast. I started talking about this at least as far back as 2013, and I remember oil drum talking about it:- a draw of almost 4 million bbls this past week
- analysts forecast a draw of 110,000 bbls
- remember: this draw comes at same time as huge SPR release
- if confirmed by EIA tomorrow, "Katie, bar the door."
- of course, the week before, a build of 5.6 million bbls suggesting a lot of issues with data;
- gasoline
- previous week: a build of 1.2 million bbls
- most recent week: a build of 2.9 million bbls
- and price of gasoline is still at $5
- crack spread at refineries said to be $50 to $60 / bbl
- most interesting data point to watch for tomorrow, EIA's report:
- refining operating capacity; and,
- jet fuel supplied
