What to Watch: Inventory Data & FOMC

ENERGY
  • API data last night showed draws in US stocks of both crude and products. This could add support to both crude and especially refined product markets if it is confirmed in the EIA weekly inventory data released today at 15:30. The expectation is for the EIA to report a -1.0m draw in crude and only small changes in gasoline and distillate stocks and therefore expected to offer little relief for the tight product markets.
  • The latest Genscape European ARA crude inventories will be released today at 09:00BST. Stocks have been hovering at or below the bottom of the 5-year range recently with European ARA crude inventories at 57.35mbbls last week.
  • The FOMC decision is due at 19:00BST. Expectations are for a 75bp increase at today's meeting with focus on the size of future hikes due to weak economic data.
