OIL: Oil edged higher overnight in the wake of a report pointing to a larger
than expected drawdown in headline crude inventories in the latest API inventory
survey, although a surprise build in gasoline stocks limited the initial bounce.
- This comes after the EIA cut its global crude demand forecast on Tuesday, and
lifted its 2019 forecast for U.S. crude production.
- Participants now look to Wednesday's DoE inventory release, with analysts
expecting a headline draw of ~2.2mn bbls.
- WTI bulls will have to overcome initial resistance in the form of the 06
August high ($69.92), while support can be found at the August 03 low ($67.87).
