Following last night's unexpected inventory draw reported by API [3], DOE reported an even bigger draw of 3.568 million barrel (against expectations of a 1.3mm barrel build). The biggest draw in almost 4 months sent crude surging back to $39. Cushing continues to fill up, with a 423k build - the 5th week in a row. Production dropped the most in 2 months (with both Alaska and The Lower 48 dropping).
