Today’s EIA’s inventory check should be closely watched after yesterday, API (American Petroleum Institute) said to have reported that US crude inventories rose 4.2mb. If this is confirmed in the official numbers from the EIA today, it means there is still an abundance of crude available in stocks.
It is noticeable that inventories are rising during the winter season, where there is normally a need to draw on them. The price on Brent crude is currently trading at around USD56/bbl.
