Oil Steady After EIA Stock Data

OIL

Crude ticks slightly higher after the release of the updated EIA inventory data.

  • Crude stock build was slightly higher than expected as production remained unchanged with strong exports, higher refinery runs and a dip in imports.
  • Refining utilization recovered with a reduction in outages and the restart of BP Whiting.
  • Gasoline and distillate 4-week rolling implied demand fell below 2020 levels. Diesel and gasoline cracks are relatively unchanged after distillates showed a big stock build and lower demand.
  • Gasoline and diesel both saw a dip in exports although still at high levels, but this was more than offset by a fall in gasoline imports.
    • Brent NOV 22 up 1.6% at 94.62$/bbl
    • WTI OCT 22 up 1.9% at 88.97$/bbl,
    • WTI-Brent up 0.17$/bbl at -6.14$/bbl
