Crude Crashes To $35 Handle After Biggest December Inventory Build In 22 Years

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Following last night's surprising 2.3mm barrel inventory build, reported by API, DOE reports a massive 4.8mm build against expectations of a 1.5mm barrel draw and way above the highest estimate of a 2.6mm draw. This is the biggest build in 2 months at a seasonally 'weak' time of year (and biggest December build since 1993). Crude ramped overnight to regain the losses from the API dump, but dropped back to lows (under $37) before the DOE data, then crashed below $36. Furthermore, production was up in the lower 48.

Biggest build in 2 months...

 

This is the biggest Mid-December build sicne 1993...

 

And production rose...

 

Crude prices collapsed lower...

how is it that when this was posted WTI had not gone below 36 yet and was at 36.80?  But now after this article has been out a few minutes I'm watching crude take the plunge???

ZH is now predicting the future in real time???

You guys are gettin' scary good at this shit.  ;-)

Most free feeds are delayed by 15-30 minutes. Tyler has a Bloomberg terminal and gets quotes in real time.

Until WTI hits the low to mid twenties (and stays there for a month or two), production will continue to increase by the zombie frackers.

There doesn't seem to be a bullish case for WTI now, but that doesn't mean the whoremasters won't pump the prices back up.  That would make about as much sense as anything else does in these FUBAR times.

FUBAR.

Maybe we can use the failed public school system in Chicago or [insert name of large US city] to act as an oil depot. Seems like better use of tax payer dollars.

As long as crude keeps falling the "most crowded trade in the world" will become even more crowded.

30% of Canada's economy is now officially in a depression and their government is still trying to paint a growth picture for 2016. Totally laughable. Those wheels are coming off soon.
