Crude oil prices moved higher today, after the U.S. Energy Information Administration reported an inventory draw of 1.8 million barrels for the week to November 22.
The change compared with a draw of 5.9 million barrels for the reported week as estimated by the American Petroleum Institute. It also followed an estimated inventory build of a modest half a million barrels for the previous week. The partial confirmation of the API estimate will likely push prices higher but it would be countered by fuel inventory changes. In these, the EIA estimated builds for the week to November 22. Gasoline stocks added 3.
This compared with a modest draw of 100,000 barrels for the previous week, when production stood at an average 4.8 million barrels daily. Refineries processed 16.3 million barrels daily last week, up from the previous week's 16.2 million bpd. Imports averaged 6.1, compared with 7.7 million barrels daily for the previous week.
