The American Petroleum Institute reported a significant reduction of approximately 4 million barrels in U.S. crude oil inventories, exceeding expectations and positively impacting WTI prices.
The rise in gasoline stocks by 7.3 million barrels and distillate inventories by 3.2 million barrels suggests sustained refinery output, potentially indicating lower consumer demand.
While the decline in crude oil inventories could signal higher demand or reduced production, the increase in finished product inventories complicates the overall market outlook.
The mixed signals from the API report underline the complex relationship between crude oil and product inventories, ultimately influencing investment decisions and market trends.
