Crude Crashes On Biggest 2-Week Gasoline Inventory Build On Record

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Confirming API data overnight, DOE reports that while total inventories of crude rose less than expected (+234k vs +2.1mm exp.) Gasoline and Distillates saw a massive build once again. Gasoline invenrtories rose 8.44mm barrels (following last week's 10.6mm record build) is the biggest 2-week inventory build in history. Crude has crashed back from overenight "China is buying oil" demand hopes.

  • *GASOLINE INVENTORIES ROSE 8.44 MLN BARRELS, EIA SAYS
  • *DISTILLATE INVENTORIES ROSE 6.14 MLN BARRELS, EIA SAYS
  • *CRUDE OIL INVENTORIES ROSE 234,000 BARRELS, EIA SAYS

This is the biggest 2-week gasoline inventory build in history

 

Worse still:

  • *CUSHING CRUDE INVENTORIES REACH RECORD HIGH OF 64M BBL

And crude is reacting how it should...

 

And then there is this:

  • *U.S. FUEL DEMAND FELL 2.15% IN PAST FOUR WEEKS, EIA SAYS

And Production rose 0.13% in The Lower 48!

Well when the US consumer already has zero $$ and Christmas is financed with a CC then you get this sort of 'no money for gas' situation.

I've noticed the panhandlers are out in droves right now, seems like they're on every corner.

Something is about to happen geopolitically - or geo-militarily.   Don't ask me where, it's gut hunch.

I've had that feeling before.  It's important to listen to those feelings.  That's how I've correctly predicted 11 of the last 4 recessions.

The most obvious answer is Iran and Saudia Arabia agree to lob a few missles at each other.

 

Just enough to spike oil higher but not so much to hurt production levels.

 

win - win!!!

I thought that last week, but it was just gas pains.  It was a little lumpier than expected, but all expelled and I felt better.

"This is the biggest 2-week gasoline inventory build in history"

When the bad news is all marked "since Lehman" you can largely ignore it.  But when it's comes marked "in history" you might want to start paying attention.

You know what's funny? People are buying bigger cars and trucks than ever and we still have these gasoline builds. Around here the fucking trucks are bigger than some of the houses, and all the rednecks have one.

Yes, they do seem to be sprouting up everywhere. Those big trucks are probably tiny penis compensators tbh.

You'll see them for a while, that is until Repo Depo starts grabbing them off the streets. After all, their owners couldn't really afford the truck let alone all of the junk they threw at it (suspension, wheels, smoked lights, running boards (or ladders), 33" tires, coffee can sized exhaust, diesel perf chip and tuner...the list is endless).

These trucks look like cartoons (like new Camaro too) and they fit well in our cartoon world....

Short term crashes can create long term price rise as the number of rigs declines, sharply.

Long wood, wind and solar.

This very well may be the bottom though, sure oil came down from its high but it is holding a very good level and is actually still green.

 

We will see at EOD.

I'll settle on $25/barrel and gas in NY (upstate) at 1.75/gal. Sill over 2.00 here. Too high. A couple more weeks of unseasonably snowless weather should do the trick.
