Crude Craters After API Reports "Disappointing" Inventory Build

Tyler Durden's picture




 

WTI Crude hit new 6-week lows at $57.36 after the close as API inventory data showed a build of 1.268 million barrels (after 3 weeks of draws) - dramatically higher than the 5.2mm barrel draw last week. Cushing saw a very small 72k draw.

 

After 3 weeks of hope-strwen draws, API reports a build this week...

 

And so prices dropped rapidly...

Craters?  $.40 is not much of a crater.

My thoughts exactly. A crater would be something akin to a $10.00/bbl drop.

Mine is more like a drop of fifty bucks a barrel.

 

Yes, gasoline is still ten cents a gallon in Venezuela in case anyone is wondering.

40cts in 1min is a crater for tyler, what is not showd is after this minute the  price up  2-10x more... tyler moments i call them now, anytime i see a 1 minute gfx i  mostly instant close the tab.

That's stupid of the Venezuelan government to sell gasoline at 10 cents a gallon when they could sell it on the global market for $2.20 and use that money to buy toilet paper and electricity.

Hahaha.  So true.  "Craters to six week lows!!!!"  Yeah, it's off like $3 in total.  Big deal. 

It was the move from $100 to $40 that was the crater.  Headlines need a revamp.

2.74 a gallon is still way too high. Stop being so greedy.

Methinks quite a few ZH'ers went long oil. The same mistake made in 2008 when everyone thought the dollar would collapse. Instead, oil went from $140 to $38. The USD will be the last fiat down the toilet. By then, the oil futures will be worthless unless you have enough money to keep rolling out for the next 10 years.

that looks more like a build than a draw. 

ZH should be in the tank for commodites speculators instead, because we all love higher gas prices

As this analysis concludes, more downside is in store for OIL...
